Another police chase in New Orleans, this one involving an Orleans Levee Police officer firing shots at the suspects' vehicles.
According to the East Bank Levee Police, officers were investigating a call of "suspicious activity" on Lakeshore Drive near the Seabrook Bridge shortly before 3 a.m. Wednesday when they encountered suspects and two vehicles.
"The situation escalated when the vehicles, a white Hyundai Sonata with Texas plates and an unknown red sedan also rammed a police vehicle," according to the levee police.
That led to an officer firing at the suspect, and a subsequent chase into New Orleans East.
Police found the Hyundai at Haney Drive and Wales Street in Little Woods, but the suspects were gone. The red sedan was not located.
