One person was fatally shot, and three others were wounded Thursday afternoon, in the French Quarter district of New Orleans.
Gunfire erupted at the intersection of Iberville and Royal streets shortly before 12:20 p.m., Police Superintendent Anne Kirkpatrick said.
At least three gunmen in a silver 2016 Honda Accord pulled up outside Dickie Brennan’s Steakhouse and opened fire. At least one suspect was taken into custody.
“This was not random, and we could see that,” Kirkpatrick said. “We know who you are. We’re asking you to come in, turn yourself in.”
The shooting is the second gun violence incident in Orleans Parish within a week.
“Tragically, we are faced with another mass shooting this week,” said New Orleans City Council President Helena Moreno.
“This is an overall gun violence problem throughout our city, and we cannot stand for it.”
“This is not who we are, and those responsible will be apprehended and fully prosecuted.”
