BATON ROUGE - A scary, midday drive-by shooting on Corporate Boulevard shook up a woman and her daughter.

As they walked out of a retail store, they began hearing gunfire. A single bullet hit their vehicle, and Candy Kent was moments away from being in the line of fire.

"I kept thinking that I can die today, and it's just unbelievable," said Kent.

Kent and her daughter, Sydney, were just about to end their shopping trip at a clothing boutique. As Kent stepped out the door, the unthinkable happened.

"I heard three gun shots," she said. "The first one being very loud."

A mid-day drive by on corporate!?


The thugs shooting each other in the hood is one thing.

This needs to be met with a swift and brutal reprisal.

Makes more sense if it was on that end of Corporate. I was thinking it was on the other end by Jefferson because the mom and daughter were shopping at a boutique.

Damn. One block from my office. Lots of rabble up and down Corp from adjacent hood, College Dr apartments and I-10. The good parts of this city are continually and inexorably shrinking.

Actual correct use of “could have been me”

Wonder if she posts on the OT

First World conversation overheard at Mansur's:

"Waiter, I'll need you to re-warm my steak in the broiler. It got cold while I was under the table during the shootout."

Or simply,

"I'll have another...".
