By KPLCTV DIgital Staff, Aug 23, 2015
A Louisiana State Trooper was shot in the head with a shotgun Sunday afternoon near Bell City, authorities said.
Trooper Steven Vincent, 43, a 13-year veteran of the state police force, was airlifted to Lake Charles Memorial Hospital, where he is in critical condition, Col. Mike Edmonson said at a news conference Sunday evening. Vincent, a veteran, is married with a 9-year-old son. Both of his brothers are in law enforcement — Keith Vincent is the Chief of Police in Iowa and Terrell Vincent is a fellow state trooper.
A suspect, Kevin Daigle, 54, was arrested. Edmonson said Daigle is to be charged with first-degree attempted murder of a police officer. For more on Daigle's criminal history, click HERE.
Authorities said Vincent was responding to a call of a vehicle driving erratically around 2:45 p.m. Sunday. When he arrived, a Dodge pickup truck driven by Daigle was in a ditch at the corner of La. 14 and Fruge Road.
