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.
Officer Waters served as a part-time police officer with the Mangham Police Department for six years and was a full-time EMT for the Northeast Louisiana Ambulance Service.
