Louisiana State Police have issued an arrest warrant for the suspect in shooting that left an Assumption Parish Sheriff with a graze wound and sent two others — including the suspect — to the hospital.
Blanchard allegedly made racially charged remarks before shooting the victim.
When Sheriff Leland Falcon and a deputy arrived, officials say Blanchard fired at them, and the deputy fired back.
Blanchard was taken to the hospital.
Once he's released, he'll face the following charges:
Attempted 1st degree murder (2 counts)
Aggravated assault with a firearm (3 counts)
Aggravated assault on a police officer
Hate crimes
Aggravated burglary
