IBERIA PARISH, La. (KLFY) -- A 47-year-old Lafayette man is recovering from a gunshot wound and is facing charges in connection with two stabbings that occurred at different homes Halloween evening, authorities said.
Casey Meaux is facing two counts of home invasion and two counts of attempted first-degree murder, according to the Iberia Parish Sheriff's Office. A mugshot was not available of Meaux on Friday due to him being in hospital care, the sheriff's office said.
