Officer shooting suspect arrested after standoff

SUNSET - Louisiana State Police told media in St. Landry Parish that a man suspected of shooting a law enforcement officer and stabbing two people is in custody after a standoff in a gas station.

KATC-TV reported the suspect was apprehended around 6:30 p.m. after authorities gained entry to the office where the suspect had barricaded himself.

St. Landry Parish Sheriff Bobby Guidroz said a Sunset Police officer was shot after responding to a call on St. Anna Street where two people were stabbed. Guidroz said the man then drove into a nearby Exxon gas station and made threats to the three people inside, all of whom escaped without harm.

Guidroz said law enforcement stormed the building, which forced the gunman to barricade himself further back in another office. The sheriff said a negotiator was trying to talk with the man while SWAT crews tried to gain entry to his location again.

Louisiana State Police responded to the scene to assist St. Landry authorities, and said the suspect was arrested a short time later.

A man shot and killed a Sunset, Louisiana, police officer Wednesday and stabbed three women, one of them fatally — including two sisters of the mayor of neighboring Grand Coteau — before smashing his car into a convenience store, where he barricaded himself against police, authorities said.

The suspect was in custody after authorities tossed in tear gas and rammed through an inner office of the convenience store, St. Landry Parish Sheriff Bobby J. Guidroz said. Guidroz identified him as Harrison Lee Wiley Jr.

Sunset police Officer Henry Nelson, 51, the first responder, was shot and killed at the scene of a domestic disturbance call where authorities found the three women with serious stab wounds, Guidroz said.

One of them, Shameka Johnson, 40, was pronounced dead. She was the sister of Grand Coteau Mayor Shaterral Johnson, as is Surlay Johnson, 34, who was in critical condition at Lafayette General Hospital.

The fourth victim — Courtney Jolivette, Wiley's wife — was stable after surgery Wednesday night at an Alexandria hospital.

At least 50 local, parish and state officers responded to the convenience store, and "it went to hell in a handbasket from there," Guidroz said. Wiley wasn't injured except for tear-gas burns to his face and neck.

Guidroz said drugs were suspected. "When people ingest illegal drugs, they get brave, they get stupid," he said.

Sunset and Grand Coteau are neighboring towns about 60 miles west of Baton Rouge, separated by Interstate 49.
