  • Gunshot
  • Deadly force

Homicide detective Timothy Bender shot and killed Christopher Olmstead after Olmstead reportedly took his pickup on a rampage through the Lower 9th Ward at around 9 a.m. Witnesses said that the incident started with a domestic dispute. Police said that Olmstead, who was driving a silver pickup, hit four other homes with his truck before slamming through the fence at his home. Bender happened to be in the Holy Cross neighborhood investigating an unrelated case when he was flagged down by someone who spotted Olmstead driving erratically. Bender was driving an unmarked police vehicle but was wearing an NOPD uniform. Bender appears to have arrived at the scene shortly after Olmstead crashed into the second vehicle. The detective repeatedly ordered Olmstead to get out of his pickup, witnesses said. When he did, Olmstead charged at the detective, according to Sarah Lastie, a neighbor who witnessed the shooting and said it was like "looking at a movie." "He came raging after the officer," Lastie said. "The officer did not want to shoot him. He tried to get him to give up, but he wouldn't do it. He didn't have any choice but to shoot him." Olmstead was struck several times and had wounds in the front of his neck, chest and abdomen, said Dr. Jeffrey Rouse, the Orleans Parish coroner. Olmstead was not carrying a firearm, but police said they were still investigating whether he may have been armed with some other type of weapon.

A US Marshal shot and killed Bobby R. Anderson, who was allegedly armed and threatened officers as they attempted to arrest him. Members of a US Marshals Violent Offender Task Force were trying to serve Anderson around 3 p.m. with warrants charging him with two counts of attempted second-degree murder, burglary, two counts of forgery, unauthorized use of a motor vehicle and misrepresentation during booking. The warrants were from both Alexandria police and the Rapides Parish Sheriff's Office, both of which had members on the task force. A preliminary report said officers located Anderson at the Save More convenience store where, according to a news release, "Anderson was reportedly armed and threatened officers as they were attempting to take him into custody, resulting in a Task Force Member discharging his duty weapon, striking Anderson... Crime scene personnel did collect a firearm believed to be possessed by Anderson at the time of the shooting."

  • Gunshot
  • Deadly force

Lucien Rolland was hit by 18 bullets and killed when he allegedly emerged armed from his pickup truck after a chase on I-10. A St. Tammany deputy had reportedly attempted to stop a white GMC Sierra traveling at a very low speed in the center lane of Pontchartrain Drive near Southside Cafe at around 2:30 a.m. The deputy turned on his lights, which apparently prompted Rolland, the driver, to accelerate toward the US 11 bridge over Lake Pontchartrain. A male passenger reportedly jumped out and ran away before the truck sped off, and later told investigators that he demanded to be let out as Rolland fired a gun at deputies. The chase entered Orleans Parish on the south side of the lake before the pickup looped onto I-10 and headed back toward the north shore with Rolland allegedly continuing to shoot at deputies. State troopers joined the chase as Rolland led officers back across the lake on I-10, where Slidell Police joined in the chase. Troopers deployed a stop strip on the highway near the Old Spanish Trail exit, puncturing one of the Sierra's tires. The pickup eventually came to a stop on the Gause Boulevard overpass. Rolland allegedly exited the truck holding a handgun and "challenged" the officers who "engaged the individual and neutralized the threat," Sheriff Jack Strain said. Officers from all three agencies fired shots, and Rolland died at the scene shortly after 3 a.m. St. Tammany Parish Coroner Dr. Charles Preston said Rolland suffered wounds to his chest, abdomen, pelvis and extremities. The extent of Rolland's internal injuries made it impossible to determine which shot was fatal, Preston said.
