One of three suspects in Moss Bluff shooting in custody

MOSS BLUFF — One of three suspects connected to a Wednesday morning burglary and shooting in Moss Bluff is in custody, said authorities.

Austin Jones, 17, of 688 Sioux Drive, Moss Bluff, turned himself in to the Calcasieu Parish Sheriff's Office at 1 p.m. following a search for the three armed suspects, said Kayla Vincent, CPSO spokesperson. She said that he was arrested and charged with attempted first degree murder, armed robbery and armed robbery with the use of a firearm.

Vincent said that three men forced their way into a home in the 2600 block of North Perkins Ferry Road Wednesday morning, shot one resident and then fled on foot with an undisclosed amount of cash and several items. The victim, said Vincent, sustained non life-threatening injuries.   

During a search for the suspects, area public schools were put on lockdown.  Holly Holland, Calcasieu Parish School Board spokesperson, said that Sam Houston High School, Moss Bluff Middle, Moss Bluff Elementary and Gillis Elementary were locked down from about 10:15 a.m. to 1:45 p.m.

Vincent said that two possible suspects are actively being questioned by deputies. She said that the investigation is continuing and that more arrests are likely.
