A police chase from St. Charles Parish to LaFourche Parish today had concerned residents calling us here at WWL as the pursuit went from Highway 90 onto LA 308.

"When they got into the little town of Matthews, cops shot out of side streets," one woman said. "I counted 25 of them, and then I lost track."

LaFourche authorities say one person was apprehended.  

The St. Charles Parish Sheriff's Office has called an afternoon news conference to discuss a shooting last night in St. Rose, but officials have not yet released any detailed information about the chase.

Louisiana state police said they were called to assist with the chase, but did not have information on the suspect.
