Both victims were transported to a nearby hospital where one was pronounced dead and the other listed in stable condition. 

Shortly after the incident Dawson Lee Driskill, 45, turned himself into Bossier City Police. He was then charged with one count first-degree murder, one count attempted first-degree murder, one count aggravated criminal property damage and one count of illegal use of a weapon.
