Breaking: SWAT roll at Westin has ended; one person dead, one person shot and in hospital; police say too early to determine who shooter was




quote:

A shooting occurred on the 17th floor of the Westin Hotel on Sunday morning (Aug. 10), according to several hotel guests. New Orleans Police SWAT officers said a person was confined to that floor at the hotel at 365 Canal St., but had not provided additional information by 10:10 a.m..


quote:

Scott Stewart, who was visiting from Columbus, Ga., said his wife heard gunshots around 6 a.m. Shortly thereafter, Stewart said he heard a man "running down the hall screaming, 'I gotta get out of here; I gotta get out of here.'"

The man was fleeing another person in the room, Stewart said.

Wondering how they know it's only two people?
Are they basing that on room registration?

New Orleans is completely safe. Shootings only happen in bad neighborhoods.

One of them shot is a friend from high school. He's in ICU right now.


Odds are they were hanging with the shooter in their room, because I've known two of the guys that were in the room for a long time, and they are always around fights and bullshite like that. From what I've been told there were 8 people in the room (2 are friends from high school). Supposedly the shooter was hanging around them earlier in the day. So odds are this was some drunk, stupid fight that got out of hand.
