A man is in “critical condition” after an early morning shooting in Livingston Parish, authorities say.
In a statement, Livingston Parish Sheriff Jason Ard said officers were dispatched to Arnold Road in response to a shooting around 2 a.m. Monday. Upon arrival, they found a 26-year-old man with a gunshot wound.
“This victim was transported to a local hospital for treatment and is currently listed as critical,” Ard said.
Through the investigation, detectives identified Cole Allen, 24, of Baton Rouge, as the suspect. Allen was booked into the Livingston Parish Detention Center around 7 a.m. on charges of attempted second-degree murder and resisting an officer, according to online booking records.
No other information was immediately available on the ongoing investigation.
This was the second shooting the sheriff’s office responded to in three days. On Saturday, authorities were dispatched to a fatal shooting at the Albany tourism office.
