Bogalusa Mayor Tyrin Truong sent a letter to Louisiana Governor John Bel Edwards expressing concern about the recent shootings in the city.

The letter asks for the Bel’s help in intervening in the increase of violent crime within the city limits.

Truong said the city is in critical need of state and federal resources for assistance, including, but not limited to, Louisiana State Police and the Louisiana National Guard.
