Lafourche Parish Sheriff Craig Webre is asking for the public’s help in an investigation into a shooting incident that occurred on LA Highway 182 early Saturday morning. There were no injuries in the shooting.


At 3:30 a.m. on August 14, 2021, deputies responded to a 911 call of someone shooting at vehicles traveling eastbound on LA Highway 182.
