BATON ROUGE - Two people were shot in a shopping center along Siegen Lane after a car meet-up turned violent late Tuesday night.

The shooting happened around 11:45 p.m. in the Siegen Lane Marketplace, where a group was holding a Fourth of July car meet.

At some point, someone started launching fireworks at another group of people across the parking lot. One of the people on the receiving end of those fireworks then reportedly grabbed a handgun and started shooting.

The two people hit were innocent bystanders, according to police. Both were taken to a hospital and are expected to survive.

Authorities have not announced any arrests at this time.

Pretty sure I heard these gunshots before I went to bed on July 4th.

ETA: and the fireworks that preceded it.

That phrasing implies this was a peaceful, officially sanctioned gathering of law abiding citizens.

Really surprised such an event was marred by gun violence.

Fireworks and illegal discharge of a firearm are against the law in EBR Parish. We need more laws!

Remember a few years ago when Gravy was organizing a protest on Seigen because he said it was the heart of rich white folk territory in BR then silky slapped the frick out of him at his own kill whitey protest Good times.
