Description
Three Kenner police officers were wounded after a man shot them Sunday morning during a standoff which eventually ended with the suspected shooter, 31-year-old Matthew Lathers, dead.
"We attempted to negotiate with him numerous times, and we attempted to make contact, but there was no answer by any means, nor did he ever try to negotiate with our SWAT officers," Jefferson Parish Sheriff Joseph Lopinto said. "And it wasn't until he took the positions that he did that they fired upon him."
