Thank goodness LE video captured this. And TG some drivers stopped to assist officer.
"A Louisiana state trooper was fighting for his life early Monday after he was shot in the head Sunday afternoon by a man whose pickup truck had run into a ditch, and who got out of the truck with a sawed-off shotgun."
"Police video showed 43-year-old Senior Trooper Steven Vincent, a 13-year state police veteran ... trying to talk a man out of the vehicle stuck sideways in a ditch,..
He said the truck door opened and the man ... Kevin Daigle, 54, of Lake Charles, came out with the shotgun."
"You could hear him breathing, telling him, `You're lucky. You're lucky -- you're going to die soon.' That's the words that came out of his mouth," ...
He said two or three drivers stopped immediately...
That driver wrestled the shotgun away from Daigle, and, with the others, got him to the ground, and snapped Vincent's handcuffs on his wrists, Edmonson said. As far as he knew, he said, the good Samaritans were unhurt."
