BATON ROUGE- Police are responding to a fatal shooting at BREC Park near Sherwood Forest Boulevard.  

The incident happened at 12127 Longridge Park around 8 a.m. Tuesday. Authorities say one person was pronounced dead on the scene. 

This is a developing story. 

EAST FELICIANA PARISH- Authorities are responding to a fatal crash involving a prison bus on Highway 68 south near Dixon Correctional Institute. 

Officials say the wreck involved a vehicle and a bus. The bus was transporting trustee inmates from Dixon to the Capitol Complex for work. It was reportedly carrying 24 inmates, six prison guards, three trustees, and two correctional officers.  

Following the wreck, officials transported four victims with serious injuries and one with minor injuries. The driver of the second vehicle was pronounced dead on the scene.

Another DOC bus came and picked up the remaining inmates along with the officers that were on the bus. They were all brought back to Dixon for infirmary for evaluation.

CLINTON- East Feliciana Deputy Glenn Sims Sr. had at least three convictions under his belt at the time he shot and killed a man one week ago.

Christopher Whitfield was stealing chicken and running away when he was shot, according to his family. Deputy Sims fired a warning shot before the his gun accidentally went off, killing Whitfield, according to the sheriff's office.

Monday the WBRZ Investigative Unit was able to confirm Sims' criminal history:

-November 1992
Illegal discharge of a firearm
Pleaded guilty

-July 2004
Simple battery
Pleaded no contest

-October 2006
Resisting an officer
Pleaded no contest

In each criminal case he was given probation for a year and small fines.

The WBRZ Investigative Unit also found Sims was issued a letter of reprimand in August 2016. The letter was sent after the sheriff's office determined he sent sexually explicit text messages to a 911 dispatcher. The letter states he also engaged in unwelcome physical contact with her.

The department said all of that is now under review.

"What I can tell you is we are going to look at the circumstances of the shooting and the history we have now been made aware of and whether or not he will continue employment," Chief Criminal Deputy Greg Phares said. "It would be premature to say anything else."

Over the past three decades, Sims' employment has come and gone from the department on several occasions.

"I don't know all the circumstances of Mr. Sims' history because, as we discussed earlier, some of those records are not in good order prior to Sheriff Travis taking over," Phares said.

On Friday family members gathered outside the East Feliciana Parish Courthouse demanding that the Department of Justice come investigate. Right now, the East Feliciana Parish Sheriff's Office is investigating itself with assistance from Louisiana State Police. 

There are also questions about the warning shot that Sims fired prior to shooting Whitfield.

The State Commission on Law Enforcement said warning shots are not illegal. It's up to each law enforcement agency to have a policy on them, but those policies are not required.

East Feliciana Parish does not have a policy on warning shots.

Public information officers with BRPD and EBRSO said they have policies in place about not firing warning shots. Officers and deputies will be disciplined if they do.
