A six year-old autistic boy was killed when marshals in a Louisiana city fired at vehicle as the boy's father attempted to back into the officers during a chase, reports say.
Avoyelles Parish Coroner L. J. Mayeux said Jeremy Mardis, a first-grader at an elementary school in Effie, La., died from multiple gunshot wounds to his head and chest, according to CBS News. He was pronounced dead at the scene in Marksville, La.
The boy's father, Chris Few, also was shot multiple times and was listed in stable condition at a local hospital, reports the New Orleans Advocate.
The Town Talk says it's unclear why Few was fleeing from officers. Sources tell the Town Talk that Few might have been involved in an altercation at a local bar, while other sources say marshals were attempting to serve a warrant.
Few was cornered at a dead-end street at about 9:30 p.m. Tuesday and attempted to back into marshals' vehicles when they began firing, the Associated Press reports.
Mayeux said all of the shots entered through the driver's door of Few's pickup truck. Jeremy was sitting in the front passenger seat, the Advocate reports.
A Louisiana trooper told the Advocate it's unclear if Few had a weapon in his vehicle.
Louisiana State Police are investigating the shooting.
Blaine Dauzat, the superintendent in the district where Jeremy attended school, told the Associated Press the boy moved to the district from Mississippi at the end of his kindergarten year last April.
"We are definitely all shaken up," he said. "It's been a tough day at work for all of us."
