(AP) -- A Zydeco musician was shot in the back while performing at an event in central Louisiana, his wife said in a statement posted early Saturday on Facebook.

Chris Ardoin was performing as the Friday headliner at Zydeco Bike Fest when he was shot, his wife, Kerri, posted on his official Facebook page at 3:36 a.m.


The Advocate reports shooting happened in Colfax at Louisiana Mudfest, an ATV and mudding park where the weekend festival was being held.

The Grant Parish Sheriff's Office said in a news release that they responded to the park after receiving reports of multiple people shooting into a crowd.

They said two people were struck by the gunfire and suffered moderate injuries, including a 14-year-old child.
