A Louisiana man is accused of shooting a cashier and then killing the police officer who was sent to investigate, authorities said Monday. Howard was arrested Sunday on several charges including first-degree murder of a police officer, Louisiana State Police said in a news release. David said Howard started a shootout and ran, but was quickly arrested by Lafayette police. He said Howard is accused of trying to kill a second officer, who was not wounded, and of shooting two people in the store. "So when he walked in, the guy popped out and started shooting," Cross said.
