Woman Was Detained By New Orleans Police During Protests Then The Crowd Surrounded The Cop Car Until They Let Her Go!
A woman was shot in the chest near Duncan Plaza Thursday afternoon as several hundred demonstrators were gathered at the other end of the park for a protest against police misconduct.
New Orleans police said in a tweet that the woman was shot at the intersection of Gravier Street and Loyola Avenue, and was sent to a hospital. According to an alert sent by Tulane University police, which patrol an area nearby, someone saw the alleged shooter running away into the Central Business District towards the river.
EMS said the woman was in stable condition. The suspect has not been identified, police said.
At this early stage of the investigation, NOPD said in a news release that it does not believe the shooting was related to the protest. NOPD said investigators think the victim and the person who shot her may be acquainted.
NOPD said it interviewed and then released some witnesses. In the news release, NOPD said "the incident caused many of the protesters to walk in the street and blocked police cruisers who were interviewing witnesses from leaving the scene."
While nothing indicates at this time the shooting was related to the nearby rally, the police activity on the other end of the plaza near City Hall nevertheless raised the level of tension in a crowd wary of any confrontations with police following last week's clash on the Pontchartrain Expressway near the Crescent City Connection.
Reporters and photographers covering the protest described a confusing scene. Posted By Ghost
