Officers brought Brouchet to the Beaumont Police Department for questioning, then walked him down the steps at about 1:30 a.m. Sunday for the ride to jail.
KFDM asked if he had anything to say about the shooting or to the victim’s family.
“My deepest sympathy goes out to the family,” Brouchet told KFDM.
We asked if he knew the victim.
“We were involved in a relationship,” answered Brouchet.
KFDM asked Brouchet why he shot the victim, if he was claiming he thought the victim was an intruder.

KFDM wanted to know why he thought the victim was an intruder, and if the person had been with him prior to the shooting.

“I’m deeply sorry this accident happened,” said Brouchet.
We wanted to know how it was an accident.
“I’d really want to speak to my attorney about that,” Brouchet told us. “I’m very sorry,” he added. “Everything goes out to the family, but like I say, it was an accident.”
KFDM asked if he would take everything back if he could change the outcome of what happened.
