EUNICE, La. — A search is underway for the suspect who fired shots at an officer’s home in what police believe was a targeted shooting.
“I’m thinking that he was targeted because he was an officer,” Police Chief Randy Fontenot told KATC. “I don’t think it was just a random shooting.”
The officer and his family were home at the time of the shooting, but no one was injured. Police are searching for a dark-colored sedan seen on surveillance footage. Officials are also looking into recent arrests to see if there could be a possible connection.
“It’s something that bothers us a lot knowing that they’re going to target one of our officers just for doing their job or for who they are,” Fontenot said. “We don’t take this activity lightly we will investigate and we won’t let up until we find who’s responsible for it.”
