First responders in east St. Mary offered a salute during a procession Thursday carrying slain Ville Platte City Marshal's Office Lt. Barry Giglio east on U.S. 90. Acadiana law enforcement officers joined the procession, and St. Mary police officers and firefighters were deployed along the highway, including the Bayou Vista Volunteer Fire Department in the bottom photo. A flag was flown from the La. 182 bridge on-ramp. Giglio was shot to death Monday while trying to execute a search warrant in Ville Platte. After a state police investigation, Vonteeko Lamar Anderson, 23, was booked Wednesday night on a first-degree murder charge in the shooting.
