Governor Orders State Police, Local Law Enforcement to Enhance Gameday Security After Shooting at LSU

On Monday, Governor Jeff Landry ordered the Louisiana State Police to work with local authorities to enhance security after two people were shot Saturday during the LSU Homecoming game.
During the Homecoming game, the shooting happened around 8:30–8:40 p.m. as Baton Rouge Police Department assisted crowd control after shutting down Highland Road near Dalrymple Drive.
Typically, about 600 trained on-duty police officers represent LSU Police, local law enforcement, and state agencies, while police investigators continue using license plate readers and camera networks.
Louisiana State Police said they are coordinating with LSU Police, Baton Rouge Police Department, and East Baton Rouge Parish Sheriff's Office to enhance security for the upcoming LSU vs. Texas A&M game, and Baton Rouge police will meet with LSU Police to review their joint response.
LSU's interim president said safety is LSU's top priority and the university will review resources before the Oct. 25 game, amid ongoing security concerns.
