Volunteer workers shot in NBR

“BATON ROUGE - One person was critically injured Wednesday afternoon in a shooting that injured two people on North 24th Street, emergency officials said.

The shooting happened after 3 p.m. near the intersection of North 24th and Laurel streets. Another person was taken to the hospital in stable condition, EMS added.

According to witnesses at the scene, three men were pouring concrete at a new home when a group of men approached them on foot with their weapons drawn and said "you know what time it is."

A Mid-City Redevelopment Alliance board member, Amanda Carlin, said Robby McKey and two volunteers were attacked in a holdup, and McKey was critically injured alongside another volunteer being hit.

Despite the shooting, Carlin says the group is still committed to Mid-City. He also praised McKey for his volunteer work and said him being a victim of violence was "disheartening."

I thought it was more mid-town than north BR. If true, that makes it worse.

Just a few hundred feet from a Catholic school at 3:00pm on a weekday. No big deal…

NBR needs to be fenced off like Gaza.

If they shoot one of the KTTB litter volunteers, there will be hell to pay.

Most large cities keep their animals in a zoo but BR lets them roam the street.

This has been happening and going unreported for years.

I heard of a guy showing up with an AR15 at the front door of a house near Elm Street that was being renovated and trying to rob the construction crew. They ran through the house and escaped through the back door.

Another guy had a bullet fired through his work trailer.

There are more than a few people who work construction that will not venture into those neighborhoods for jobs anymore.

One block north of Florida is technically NBR but that is right by Sacred Heart school.
