Rayne Police: Gunman Misses Two Victims, Hits Truck

Rayne police are looking for the man they say shot at two other men late Tuesday night.

That shooting happened just before 9 p.m. near the intersection of Lyman Avenue and West Jeff Davis Avenue.

However, police found that the pickup truck in which the two men were riding was hit by multiple bullets. Investigators say they found multiple small-caliber casings when they arrived on scene.
