NEW ORLEANS (WVUE) - A woman shot two people on Bourbon Street early Saturday morning (Oct. 7), New Orleans police said.
The NOPD said a 34-year-old man was arguing with a woman around 6:07 a.m. at the intersection of Bourbon and Toulouse streets, when another woman “walked up, pulled a weapon and shot him multiple times in the chest.”
A 37-year-old woman standing nearby was “caught in the crossfire,” the NOPD said, and sustained a gunshot wound to her leg.
The NOPD said both victims were taken for hospital treatment by New Orleans EMS. The man is listed in critical condition.
The woman, identified as Shawnnika Smith, 30, was taken into custody later the same day. A 9mm pistol was taken from her possession.
Smith was booked into jail on one count of attempted second degree homicide, two counts of aggravated second degree battery, aggravated assault with a firearm and illegal discharge of a firearm.
