Both victims are in stable condition, according to authorities.
An early morning argument in the Treme neighborhood ended in gunfire leaving two men wounded, New Orleans police said. The shooting occurred just after 3 a.m. Saturday (Feb. 24) in the 1200 block of North Claiborne Avenue. The victims, ages 36 and 43, were talking to a third, unidentified man when things got heated, according to NOPD.
It’s not clear what the men were discussing, but the conversation turned into an argument. At some point, the third man pulled out a semi-automatic pistol and shot at the other men.
Both were injured. One was taken to a local hospital by ambulance. He was in stable condition, NOPD said. The other victim was driven to the hospital in a private vehicle. He was also in stable condition.
No other information was available about the shooting.
