BREAKING: Three Dead, Two Injured In Shooting Outside Louisiana Gun Store

Townhall Media

The Jefferson Paris Sheriff's Office responded to calls of a shooting at the Gun Outlet store in Metairie, Louisiana, around 3 p.m. local time.

According to Sheriff Joseph Lopinto, there was one initial shooter. He fired upon two victims inside the gun store. Both of those victims were pronounced dead at the scene.

“It appears several individuals engaged the original suspect, whether inside the location or out here in the parking lot. We have a total of three deceased including the two that were inside," he said during a press conference. "Out here on the scene itself, we have two additional that were hit by gunfire and were transported to University Hospital where I am told they are in stable condition at this point in time."

“From what I understand I have multiple shooters at this location that were either customers, employees or individuals here at the location itself and we are trying to put it all together and piece it together from what we have in this developing scene.”

Multiple sources told KETV that the initial shooter walked into the store with an unholstered firearm. The clerk behind the counter reportedly said he could not have his firearm loaded until he made it to the range. At that point, an argument broke out, and "at least two customers on the range engaged the man."

The initial shooter and the two customers were injured in the process. 

Below is a look at the scene:
