State Troopers are investigating a police-involved shooting and pursuit that has left one man in critical condition at an area hospital. The pursuit started in Church Point and ended in Carencro. Trooper Stephen Hammons says that at some point along the way, Church Point Police shot at a fleeing car with two people inside. The driver of the car was hit in Acadia Parish, but managed to drive to Carencro, when he lost control near North University Avenue and Railroad Street.
It's unclear what started the pursuit in Church Point. As is standard in police-involved shootings, Louisiana State Police are handling the investigation.
