St. Landry Parish Sheriff said the suspect will face a first degree murder charge for shooting police officer. The sheriff’s office also told the media that illegal drugs may be involved and that they are most likely not dealing with a sane individual.

The conditions of the police officer shot and the two stabbing victims is still unclear at this time.
