LAFAYETTE, La. — A man is dead and a woman was wounded after a shooting between a group of people and a Lafayette Police Officer.

"This is the most involved one we've had ever. There were several parties shooting at each other across the parking lot. There was an active shooting going on before the officer basically engaged them. The whole parking lot is a crime scene," said spokesperson for Louisiana State Police Troop I Trooper Thomas Gossen, according to the Acadiana Advocate.
According to LSP, as the officer got closer to the group, one or more people began shooting at the officer. The officer was not injured.

It is unknown which shooting the victims were wounded but the Louisiana State Police Bureau of Investigations is investigating the incident.
"There's no way to know who shot who," Gossen said. "There were so many people shooting that we have no clue. It was only one officer involved," according to the Acadiana Advocate.
