Officers with the Shreveport Police Department responded to reports of gunfire on May 25 around 3 a.m. in the 100 block of Commerce Street, where officers encountered two groups actively shooting at one another, according to police.
Police said four SPD officers discharged their firearms during the incident, causing the suspects to flee the area. Authorities later took four individuals into custody and recovered multiple firearms from the scene.
One person sustained non-life-threatening gunshot injuries and was transported to a local hospital. Another individual was also transported for treatment of a non-firearm-related injury.
Police Chief Wayne Smith immediately contacted the Louisiana State Police, which will handle the officer-involved portion of the investigation.
As is standard procedure, the four officers involved have been placed on administrative leave pending the outcome of the investigation.
According to SPD, no officers were injured during the incident, and there is currently no indication that officers acted outside of department policy.
The investigation remains ongoing.
