RIP Louisiana State Trooper, ^ Steven Vincent. Vincent leaves behind a wife and a 9-year-old son. Vincent also has two brothers -- Keith Vincent is the Chief of Police in Iowa and Terrell Vincent a fellow state trooper.
Officer Vincent stopped to help an apparently stranded motorist yesterday. The motorist shot him in the head.
At a press conference today, Col. Mike Edmonson introduced the good Samaritan who he said wrestled the sawed-off shotgun away from the man accused of shooting the trooper.
"This is a hero," Edmonson said of Robert LeDoux of Iowa. He was the first of four people who stopped to help. LeDoux grabbed the shooter, Kevin Daigle, and "moved him off our trooper," Edmonson said. LeDoux then used Vincent's radio to let police know an officer was down and ask for help. LeDoux did not speak at the news conference. Edmonson shook hands with him and then hugged him.

POS ^ Kevin Daigle (54) wandered into the road and over to Officer Vincent after shooting the trooper.
Dash cam video/audio captured the incident. "You could hear him (Daigle) breathing, telling him, 'You're lucky. You're lucky - you're going to die soon.' That's the words that came out of his mouth," Edmonson said.
Daigle is in the hospital being treated for minor scrapes. He's been charged with first degree murder.
