On Wednesday of this week at approximately 12:45 p.m., Washington Parish Sheriff's deputies responded to an Angie-area residence following reports of a domestic dispute involving a disagreement over child custody. While officers were en route, a report of shots fired was sent out with at least one shooting victim.
The victim was taken to Our Lady of the Angels' emergency room in Bogalusa before deputies arrived. It was determined that there had been an exchange of gunfire between one person in the apartment and three people who arrived at the scene in a vehicle.
The investigation is currently ongoing and police officers are collecting evidence. Currently, one person, Scipio Burton (DOB 05/2/2000), has been charged with Attempted Second Degree Murder, while another person, Marquez Smith (DOB 08/24/1999), has been charged with Attempted Second Degree Murder.
The shooting victim suffered non-life-threatening injuries and has since been released from medical care.
The Washington Parish Sheriff's Office will provide further updates as the investigation continues.
