The man suspected of a multi-parish crime spree that left two people dead, including a Louisiana state trooper, has been released from the hospital and booked into prison. Louisiana State Police say Matthew Mire, 31, was taken to the East Baton Rouge Parish Prison wearing the handcuffs that belonged to Master Trooper Adam Gaubert, who Mire is suspected of killing.
"Those handcuffs are symbolic to every Trooper within LSP," police wrote in a Facebook post showing the handcuffed suspect.
Mire was hospitalized to receive treatment for a K-9 bite and a suspected self-inflicted gunshot wound in his leg, CBS affiliate WAFB-TV reported.
Authorities made two gruesome discoveries Tuesday after a Missouri woman walked into a police station and told officers that she fatally shot one of her children and drowned the other, officials said. Jefferson County Sheriff Dave Marshak said at a news conference that authorities believe both children were killed Tuesday morning.
Strong storms with damaging winds and baseball-sized hail pummeled Texas on Tuesday, leaving more than one million businesses and homes without power as much of the U.S. recovered from severe weather, including tornadoes, that killed at least 24 people in seven states during the Memorial Day holiday weekend.
