PLAQUEMINE - Two Iberville Parish Sheriff's deputies were shot and one suspect was killed in a shooting at the Iberville Parish Courthouse on Monday night.

The Iberville Parish Sheriff's Office said that the two deputies were being treated for gunshot wounds. Sources said one of the deputies was shot in the stomach.

District Attorney Tony Clayton said that one of the injured deputies is Brett Stassi Jr., the son of Iberville Parish Sheriff Brett Stassi.

“I have spoken to Sheriff Stassi. His son is currently stable but not out of the woods. Another deputy is fighting for his life. He asks for your prayers for these brave officers. These deputies put their lives on the line for us - please pray for them now," Attorney General Liz Murrill said.
