Rapides parish deputy shoots at car following attack at Peabody Montessori

ALEXANDRIA, La. (WNTZ) – A school resource officer opened fire on a vehicle Tuesday morning after the driver allegedly attempted to run him over outside Peabody Montessori, prompting a campus lockdown, according to the Rapides Parish Sheriff’s Office.

The incident occurred around 9:05 a.m., when the deputy observed a vehicle speeding into the school’s parking lot. Authorities said the deputy attempted to stop the vehicle, but the driver accelerated toward him.

No students or staff members were injured, and the school immediately went into lockdown as a precaution.

The Alexandria Police Department and Louisiana State Police are assisting sheriff’s deputies with the ongoing investigation. Officials released an image of the suspect’s vehicle and are asking for the public’s help identifying the driver.
