Attorney General Jeff Sessions today issued the following
statement regarding Saturday’s fatal shooting in Louisiana:
“We are all saddened to learn of the death on Saturday night
of Sergeant Shawn Anderson, who was shot and killed while trying to question a
rape suspect. His death adds to the sorrow of the law enforcement community in
Baton Rouge, Louisiana, which still mourns the killing last July of three
officers during an ambush. The loss of Sergeant Anderson underscores the
dangers that our men and women in law enforcement face willingly every day as
they serve and protect us. We are forever in their debt, and we must do more to
keep them safe. I will make available all of the resources of the department to
aid the state and local authorities investigating this incident, and to ensure
that the suspect who killed this brave officer faces justice. My thoughts and
prayers, and those of the entire Department of Justice, go out to the family,
loved ones, and colleagues of Sergeant Anderson.”
