A car crash in Destrehan leads to one man getting shot in the stomach says the St. Charles Sheriff’s Office.
According to authorities, the incident began with a vehicle crash on Ormond Boulevard just south of Villere Drive at approximately 4:00 P.M. on Tuesday.
The sheriff’s office says a black Ford pickup truck driven by Michael Woulfe, 51, of Destrehan, crashed into a Mercedes-Benz driven by 78-year-old Walter Tabary.
Woulfe did not stop after the crash and drove off to his home on Villere Drive. Tabary, with his wife in the vehicle, followed Woulfe to the residence while calling 911.
Woulfe eventually got out of his truck and approached Tabary’s vehicle. An altercation ensued and Woulfe was shot in the abdominal area.
Tabary suffered facial injuries in the altercation and was treated at the scene by EMS. Woulfe was airlifted to University Hospital and after undergoing surgery he is listed in guarded, but stable condition.
Detectives are currently investigating and reviewing multiple sources of available video footage, as well as interviewing witnesses.
