Sheriff Russell held a news conference to release more details about the two deputies that were shot Thursday morning .

Two deputies went to Mary Beth Court in Monroe and were shot when serving a warrant to Ricky Wade, Jr.

Many different law enforcement agencies responded and Wade was discovered to have fled to a house just a few blocks away.

The SWAT team responded by going into the back of the house and used a gas to flush the suspect out. Wade climbed into the attic of the house and the SWAT team used more gas. Eventually, Wade fell out of the attic and police arrested Wade and took him into custody without incident.

The two deputies who were shot – one, a 30 year veteran, the other a 25 year veteran – have both been sent to the hospital for surgery. One, at the time of the press conference, was currently in surgery. The other was being air lifted to LSUS for surgery.

The names of the deputies have not been release until all family members have been notified.

Charges against Wade are pending.
