Louisiana: 6-Year-Old Boy Dies After Officer Opens Fire on Car 
---------------------------------------------------------------


 
In Marksville, Louisiana, a 6-year-old boy has died and his father is
critically wounded after city marshals opened fire on the family's car.
Authorities say city marshals were chasing the father, Chris Few, to
serve him a warrant. When Few reached a dead end, he allegedly began to
back into the marshals' car. The officers then opened fire, killing
first-grader Jeremy Mardis and critically wounding his father.
