The suspect, who
police identified as Calvin Smith, 22, of Baton Rouge, died on
Saturday night at a local hospital, police said in a statement.
Police said Smith fled in his car from officers who were
responding to a report of a disturbance involving property
damage, then pulled off the road in front of his home about 2
miles (3 km) away, got out of the vehicle and fired several
shots at the officers with a rifle.
The officers were both wounded, but were able to return fire
striking Smith, police said.
