SIMMESPORT – Officials think a Point Coupee man may have jumped from an Atchafalaya River bridge after allegedly shooting someone at a night club.

The shooting occurred early Monday at a private party. A 21-year-old had been shot in the leg.

Jontrell Ford, 27, of Batchelor as allegedly the shooter.

Deputies later found his truck parked on the bridge, from which Ford allegedly called a family member to say he intended to jump.

A river search continues.
