NEW ORLEANS — A woman was shot on the Pontchartrain Expressway early Thursday morning, police say.
The shooting was reported around 1:30 a.m. according to a tweet from the NOPD. It's unclear where on US 90 B West that the shooting took place. The Pontchartrain Expressway runs from the Crescent City Connection to the Orleans-Jefferson Parish Line.
The woman was taken to the hospital by ambulance, and her condition is unknown.
Police did not say anything about a suspect in the shooting, but Thursday's incident is the latest in a rising trend of interstate gun violence over the past several months.
Ed. Note: An earlier version of this story incorrectly equated a part of the Westbank Expressway as being part of the Pontchartrain Expressway. The story has been corrected to reflect accurate location info.
