Video shows moments Jefferson Parish deputies shoot woman during standoff in Marrero
MARRERO, La. — A 62-year-old woman from Lafitte was shot multiple times by Jefferson Parish Sheriff’s Office (JPSO) deputies Wednesday afternoon during a confrontation in Marrero, according to authorities.
The incident occurred around 2:30 p.m. in the 7300 block of the Westbank Expressway, after deputies responded to a report of a suspicious vehicle.
The truck driven by the woman had been flagged, prompting law enforcement to approach the scene around 2:15 p.m.
According to JPSO, deputies attempted to speak with the woman and instructed her to exit the vehicle.
A bystander video obtained by local media captures the moments leading up to the shooting. In the footage, the woman is seen inside the truck, appearing to point a firearm at deputies.
She then steps out of the vehicle with her hands raised, but as she walks toward the back of the truck, she allegedly raises the weapon again, prompting deputies to open fire.
The video, which is paused before showing the actual shooting due to its graphic nature, depicts deputies quickly surrounding the woman after she is shot.
JPSO confirmed that two deputies discharged their firearms, striking the woman multiple times.
She was transported to a nearby hospital for emergency treatment. Her current condition has not been publicly disclosed.
Authorities state that once she is medically cleared, the woman will face charges of aggravated assault on a peace officer.
The incident was also recorded on deputy body-worn cameras and surveillance footage from a nearby business.
The Jefferson Parish Sheriff’s Office is continuing its investigation. Anyone who witnessed the incident or possesses additional video footage is urged to contact JPSO at 504-364-5300.
MT. JULIET, Tenn. — Authorities have identified two victims killed during an active shooter incident at Cedar Creek Marina in Mt. Juliet late Friday night.
The suspect, identified as Gary Haley, a convicted felon with an extensive criminal history, is deceased following an officer-involved shooting, officials confirmed.
Mount Juliet Police officers were dispatched at approximately 9:30 p.m. Friday to the Cedar Creek Marina, located in the 9000 block of Saundersville Road, after receiving reports of a man threatening another individual on the docks.

Upon arrival, officers located an adult male suffering from a gunshot wound.
The victim was later identified as Robby Brogdon, who was transported to a local hospital for emergency medical treatment.
Despite life-saving efforts, Brogdon later succumbed to his injuries.
Investigators determined that the suspected shooter had retreated to a boat within the marina and had barricaded himself inside.
The standoff continued for several hours as officers secured the scene and attempted to resolve the situation safely.
At approximately 1:00 a.m. Saturday, the Tennessee Bureau of Investigation (TBI) reported that the suspect engaged responding officers and fired shots at them under circumstances that remain under investigation. Officers returned fire.
