Cops say two men were playing with a gun early Saturday morning in Thibodaux, before both wound up dead.

"Lafourche Parish Sheriff Craig Webre announced a negligent homicide led to a suicide on Saturday," LPSO announced in a news release. "Draven Hendon, 30, of Thibodaux and Jordan Landry, 22, of Houma were both pronounced dead at the scene."


Police got the call around 3:30am today to the 200 block of Colony Station in Thibodaux.

"Based on evidence collected at the scene, detectives believe the two individuals were playing with a loaded gun when the gun accidentally went off, taking the life of Landry. Hendon then allegedly turned the gun on himself, taking his own life."

The sheriff's office says the investigation is ongoing to confirm the initial findings.

“We extend our heartfelt sympathies to the families of those involved in this tragic incident,” Sheriff Craig Webre said in the news release.
