PLAQUEMINE – Crews are on the scene of a deputy-involved shooting on LA 1 and Government Street that occurred around 2:30 p.m. on Friday.

Stassi said the car was driven by Gregory Hardin, who has been arrested multiple times for drug trafficking. According to Sheriff Brett Stassi, when deputies tried to stop the vehicle, Hardin accelerated past them and that is when one deputy fired two shots. A woman, who was in the passenger's seat of the vehicle, was struck in the elbow.

According to the sheriff, an 18-month old child was in the car and drugs were found in the car also. Louisiana State Police are conducting an investigation into the incident.
