SHREVEPORT, La. -- A Shreveport woman killed Monday afternoon when she drove into the path of a train has been identified.  The Caddo Coroner's Office said Natalie Brown-Denby, 32, was killed just after 1:30 p.m. in the 10200 block of Norris Ferry Road.  Brown-Denby was northbound when she ran through the crossing guard arm and was hit on the driver's side by the train. She was ejected and died at the scene.  Crash investigators say the crossing arms were working at the time of the crash. One crossing arm broke as a result of the incident and has since been fixed. Shreveport police are still investigating the crash.
