PER CURIAM:
  
   *
  

  Plaintiff-Appellee Norvel Lassere sued several St. John the. Baptist Parish law enforcement personnel (collectively, “Defendants”) after an incident that resulted in one Defendant fatally shooting Plaintiffs mother, Barbara Lassere (“Lassere”). After a trial, a jury found that both Defendants and Lassere acted negligently under Louisiana law and apportioned 50% of the fault to Defendants and 50% of the fault to Lassere. Defendants appeal the denial of their motion for judgment as a matter of law or, alternatively, a new trial. Having carefully reviewed the parties’ arguments, the record, and the pertinent case law, we find no reversible error.
 

  AFFIRMED.
