    I agree the article and title are terrible. But from what I was able to piece together from three separate articles on the same site:

    The police were executing a narcotics search warrant. During the execution, the father of the family (Sistrane Edwards) was shot once and killed. The pet (Unnamed) was also shot and killed. The mother (Cynthia Soileau) was shot and is alive, in the hospital, in critical condition.

    Deputy Marshall Barry Giglio was shot and killed, allegedly by the son (Vonteeko Anderson) in the family, who’s been arrested for first degree murder + some drug offenses.

    Someone else was also arrested but not named or charged.

    The father, Sistrane Edwards, is a veteran with 13 years in law enforcement - which is probably why OP’s title mentions “two Louisiana cops dead”.

      And I’m sure the cops who murdered the father and injured the mother won’t be charged with first degree murder.

      Aye you really a “veteran” just because you’ve had your job for a little over a decade? That’s not that long, I’ve got socks older then that :-/

        I took it to mean the more literal “they served some amount of time in the military” rather than “they did their job for a long time”
