"We're All Going To Die Today"
"BATON ROUGE, LA — The East Baton Rouge Parish Sheriff's Office is investigating a shooting in a Baton Rouge neighborhood Sunday that ended with what they said was a suicide.
"Deputies secured a portion of Bluebonnet Highlands neighborhood, manning every corner of the area.
"Police said Jerry Lee Foster, 53, shot a family member after having an argument with his wife.
"`He pulled out a gun and told her, 'We're all going to die today,' and he took her at gunpoint to his relative's house, where their teenage son was and he held entire family at gunpoint,` said Casey Rayborn Hicks of the East Baton Rouge Sheriff's Office.
"Investigators said Foster misfired at his wife and then shot a family member in her leg when they tried to run from the house. The victim's husband then returned fire with his own gun, but Foster got out through a window.
"`He was looking for everyone that had run away and at that point, he saw deputies and ran to his vehicle and tried to flee. Deputies pursued him and that's when he stopped the car and deputies thought he would turn himself in, but instead, he shot himself,` Hicks explained."

According to police reports, shortly after 9 p.m. on Friday, 37-year-old Steele, a mother of six, was on her way home when she was attacked by Brown who was laying in waiting for her.
