Armed Citizens End Shooting Spree in LA
[Fox News] Armed citizens were credited with limiting fatalities in a shooting in Louisiana on Saturday that left three people dead, including the suspect, according to authorities. It happened near a gun shop and shooting range on Airline Drive in Metairie, La., just west of New Orleans, and the armed people at the scene helped subdue the gunman, according to authorities."At this time, it appears a suspect shot two victims inside the location, then was engaged and shot outside the location by multiple other individuals," the sheriff's statement continued. "The suspect is one of the deceased on scene." Employees at the Jefferson Gun Outlet typically carry sidearms at the facility, but it was not immediately clear whether the good Samaritans were customers, outlet employees or other individuals. The gunfire came roughly two months after a Christmas Eve shooting left two men dead in Metairie, according to the sheriff's office. In that case, police responded to reports of possible gunfire and found both victims dead in a car outside an apartment building on Yale Street. Two weeks before that, another four men were shot in Metairie, two of them fatally. Dangerous place, Metairie! Posted by: Bobby 2021-02-22 |
