The shooter fled the scene, and other deputies began the investigation.
Their investigation led officers to a trailer park, where they began questioning residents.
As they were conducting their interview, the rifleman came out of the trailer, shooting as he went.
Two of the officers were killed, and another was wounded during a firefight which developed between police and five civilians, two of whom were wounded as well.
All five civilians are under arrest, though the two wounded are in the hospital.
Brandon Nielsen, 34, and Jeremy Triche, 28, were the two deputies that lost their lives; Scott Boyington, 33, and Jason Triche, 30, are the wounded officers.
Louisiana state flags will be flown at half mast until dusk on Friday, in honor of the fallen officers.
