How they died
Suicide
Around 8 a.m., deputies were dispatched to a Denham Springs home for a disturbance call involving an armed man. After deputies spoke with witnesses, they were able to identify the man as Michael J. Knighten, as well as the other he was driving. When officials caught up with Knighten, they say he led them on a short other pursuit. The chase ended as Knighten made a u-turn near Highway 16, and put himself on a collision course with a deputy. The deputy pulled over, but Knighten plowed forward, ramming his other into the parked LPSO unit and in so doing, killing himself.
