The round struck Officer Waters below his vest and damaged his femoral artery. The man fled the scene and was arrested in Franklin Parish several hours later.
Officer Waters remained hospitalized until succumbing to his wound.

View all 127 ReflectionsMy friend and my brother. Not a day goes by that I'm not waiting to hear the phone ring and hear your voice on the other end saying "whassup". From sitting on my left side in band when I played bone and you played baritone, to when I swapped to baritone also. To you showing up unannounced at my apartment in alexandria, to the random phone calls at all times of the night when you were bored. Man I miss you brother....so dang much it hurts.
Forever my brother
