Louisiana State Police are investigating after a trooper fatally shot a passenger in a pickup at the end of a police chase on Monday in Houma.
LSP says the trooper tried to stop the truck around 4 p.m. as part of an ongoing drug probe, and the chase was on.
When the chase came to a stop in a dead end, the passenger reportedly got out with a gun, and the trooper shot him. The passenger died at the scene.
The driver took off again, and was arrested after the second chase ended with a crash.
No names have been released.
