Two men are in hospitals this morning after two separate shootings in New Orleans early Wednesday morning, continuing what has been a violent five-day stretch in New Orleans.
According to a New Orleans Police Department spokesperson, the first shooting happened around 1:30 a.m. near the intersection of South Dorgenois and General Taylor in Broadmoor. Investigators say the victim in that shooting suffered a body wound. An EMS crew took the victim to a hospital.
The second shooting happened about 20 minutes later in the Central Business District. Police were called to Howard Avenue at Harmony Circle. When they arrived, officers found a man who had been shot once. An EMS crew took the victim to a hospital.
Police did not disclose the victims' conditions.
Since Saturday, the NOPD has worked more than a dozen shootings, two of which were deadly.
Police are still trying to identify suspects and motives in both shootings. If you know anything about either case, call the NOPD at 504-658-5300 or Crimestoppers at 504-822-1111.
