Two Bondsmen Shot in Louisiana

Louisiana media report the shootings of two local bondsmen who were attempting to apprehend a fugitive. According to reports, bondsmen Veronica King and Eddie MacKenzie were attempting to pull a bond on client, Arthur Basaldua. The bondsmen were talking to Basaldua when he pulled a gun on MacKenzie and King and fired at them several times. King was shot once in the thigh, once in the shoulder and a third bullet grazed her forehead. She was taken to a local hospital. Her condition is unknown. MacKenzie was shot once in the lower backside but refused medical treatment. A manhunt is underway conducted by local law enforcement and the FBI. A warrant has been issued for Basaldua’s arrest for two counts of attempted first-degree murder.
