Louisiana: 2 Police Arrested After Fatal Shooting of 6-Year-Old 
----------------------------------------------------------------


 
And in Louisiana, two police officers have been arrested on murder
charges after a six-year-old boy was shot to death while sitting in the
passenger seat of his father's car. The officers, Lt. Derrick Stafford
and Norris Greenhouse Jr., were working secondary jobs as city marshals.
Authorities say the marshals were chasing the father, Chris Few, to
serve him a warrant, when Few reached a dead end and allegedly began to
back into the marshals' car. The officers then opened fire, killing
first-grader Jeremy Mardis and critically wounding his father.
