Gun shop shooting

Three killed in New Orleans gun shop shooting

The local sheriff said an "initial shooter" opened fire, striking two people, which prompted several others at the shop to fire their own weapons.

The two people and the initial gunman were killed. They have not been publicly identified.

Officials said investigations into the shooting at the Jefferson Gun Outlet, in a New Orleans suburb, were ongoing.

"From what I understand I have multiple shooters here at this location that were either customers, employees or individuals here at the location itself," Jefferson Parish Sheriff Joseph Lopinto told reporters.
