Fatal Incident Summary

Offender:	No Info
Location:	LaPlace, LA USA Thu. Aug. 16, 2012
Summary:	Deputy Sheriffs Jeremy Triche and Brandon Nielsen were shot and killed in LaPlace, Louisiana, by members of a domestic terrorist group known as the Sovereign Citizens. They were shot while investigating an earlier ambush shooting that wounded a sheriff's office investigator. The investigator was working an off duty security detail at a remote parking lot used by a construction company for contract employees at about 5:00 am when someone opened fire on him as he sat in his department vehicle. Responding units located a car they believed had been involved in the early shooting in a nearby trailer park. As deputies Nielsen, Triche, and a third deputy questioned two men outside of a mobile home, a third man suddenly exited the home and opened fire with a semi-automatic rifle, striking all three deputies. Deputies Nielsen and Triche both died as a result of their wounds. Seven subjects were arrested and held in connection with both separate shooting incidents.
