NEW ORLEANS — A man was shot in the head and at least one other person was struck by gunfire Tuesday night in Central City, NOPD officials said.
The shooting took place near the intersection of South Claiborne Avenue and Toledano Street, near the dividing line between Central City and Broadmoor.
Police initially said three people were shot.
In a later update, they said one victim, a male adult, had been shot in the head and was in serious condition. A second adult male victim suffered a graze wound to the back.
Police said a third victim was treated by paramedics at the scene and released, but that it was unclear if that person had been shot.
No motive or suspect description has been provided.
The triple shooting comes on the heels of New Orleans' bloodiest weekend of 2020, with four people shot and 16 injured from Friday night through Monday morning. At least 17 shootings have been reported since Friday.
