A man with a rifle was taken into custody after he showed up to the Livingston Building looking for Louisiana’s Republican Attorney General on Wednesday.
“There is not an active shooter in or around the Livingston Building. The situation is under control. An individual in custody. There are no other details at this time,” Louisiana Attorney General Liz Murrill said on X.
The suspect has not been identified at this time.
Per WBRZ:
Officials from the AG’s office said the Louisiana Department of Justice received information that a subject possibly suffering from emotional distress was coming to the Attorney General’s Office and was believed to be in possession of a rifle. Security protocols were initiated and the subject was located near the State Capitol.
The person was “very cooperative and just wanted to speak to agents about a situation and to file a complaint.” They were then interviewed by the AG’s office. He lawfully possessed a firearm in his vehicle and he committed no criminal acts, so he was later released.
There was no police presence at the Attorney General‘s office shortly after Murrill’s social media post.
