A shooting in Metairie has left 2 people dead and 2 injured, according to Jefferson Parish Captain Jason Rivarde.
The shooting happened around 5 p.m. Thursday in the 3900 block of Division Street.
Rivarde said an off-duty officer was in the area and reported hearing gunshots and a 911 call came in a short time later.
Deputies who responded to the scene found two victims shot in the apartment complex parking lot. One of the victims was pronounced dead on the scene, the other was taken to the hospital where he succumbed to his injuries.

Rivarde said that shortly after deputies responded to the scene they received a call from a woman who said she had been in the shooting. The woman was in the 2200 block of Belvedere. She was taken to the hospital and was said to be stable. The vehicle she was in had been shot several times. Later, another person went to East Jefferson Hospital with with a gunshot wound. He was moved to University Hospital. Rivarde said he is also stable.
Investigators are looking at some surveillance video to try to help figure out what happened. Rivarde said he doesn't know if the people who were shot were merely victims or were somehow involved in the shooting incident.
On a surveillance video obtained by WWL-TV, you could hear more than a dozen shots ring out in the course of a very short time span and you could see flashes coming from an SUV believed to have been involved somehow.
WWL-TV Reporter Devin Bartolotta said a neighbor told her that a car pulled up and people got out and just began shooting.
Anyone with any information on the shooting can call Crimestoppers at 822-1111. You do not need to give your name and there could be a cash reward.
