Five people have been charged with attempted first-degree murder after shootings yesterday in Louisiana killed two officers and injured two others.
And an additional suspect was charged with being an accessory after the fact, The Associated Press reported Friday.
Terry Smith, Derrick Smith, Kyle David Joekel, Teniecha Bright, Brian Lyn Smith, and Chanel Skains are all facing charges stemming from the two early-morning shootouts in St. John the Baptist Parish.
In the first incident, a gunman shot an officer who was working traffic duty at a Valero plant parking lot in the area. In the second, officers were "ambushed" while investigating the first shooting, Sheriff Mike Tregre said.
Officers Brandon Nielson and Jeremy Triche died in yesterday's second shooting.
Two of the suspects were injured when they were arrested.
Law enforcement would not go into detail about the suspects' criminal backgrounds or their injuries. Police also would not disclose any other details about the shooting, the AP reported.

When offered resistance rewarded with a sidewalk sandwich.
Oh well.
Quaker gangs responsible.
One officer would have been 26 this week and left a wife and I believe 2 children behind. One was in his 40’s and left a wife and 5 children behind. Those disgusting low life scum need to be brought to justice and given maximum judgment. But, nothing can bring back two young husbands and fathers. Tragic!
Interesting snippet from the article:
"Edmonson also said they were communicating with state and federal law enforcement agencies about the suspects' backgrounds. He said he could not confirm if one of the suspects was part of a federally-watched anarchist group..."
So what's the over/under on the perps' genetic makeup?
Anyway they need to burn.
Five of the six are white, one is black.
Two of the suspects were injured when they were arrested.
Hey, it’s Louisiana fellas. I predict they will have an interesting future. I am so furious about this horrible crime I can hardly stand it. Two young families destroyed by some low life thugs who I most probably support with my tax dollars.

Thanks for posting the photo line-up of the perps. They remind me, in some ways, of the anarchist types I’d run into from time-to-time when I live around Portland and Eugene, Oregon.
Usually P.O.’d about some perceived injustice or another.
If two officers were killed, why only “attempted” first-degree murder? Hopefully it’s only until they investigate further and determine who did what when and which of the five pulled the trigger(s)??
Meth heads?!
The charge of “principal to attempted first degree murder “ is one I’m not familiar with.....obviously, it’s Louisiana state law. What exactly does it mean?
Yeesh, some of those pics are scary crazy...
Based on the names it looks like one of the dead officers and one of the wounded officers were brothers.
Interesting one on Kyle Joeker:
Last known address is *** * ****, Beatrice.
His date of birth is 10.31.83
The warrant is for Fail to Appear Deliver/Intent to Deliver Controlled Substance Class III Felony; Conspiracy to Commit a Class III Felony; Resist Arest
