NEW ORLEANS, La. (WVUE) -A Louisiana State Trooper shot a man Thursday evening in the French Quarter, according to LSP spokesman Monroe Dillon.

Our partners at NOLA.com-The Times-Picayune report the man was driving the wrong way on Bourbon Street and “at some point” the trooper believed the motorist would hit him. The trooper, who was near the intersection of Iberville and Bourbon streets, then fired his weapon.

His camera ticket will arrive at his mailbox and be opened by his grieving family about 3 weeks after the funeral.

Maybe we'll have some good body cam footage like the Nola east shootout.

Can you shoot someone driving the wrong way? That's a new one for me.

Have you ever been on Bourbon St?

Drunk guy going wrong way on heavily populated pedestrian friendly street. Cop gives him multiple warnings to stop then shoots for the safety of pedestrians.

Where do you think it would “go” otherwise?

Looks like a trashbag who likely got what he deserved.

ETA, fricking iPhone cut and paste is pure shite.

Bourbon isn’t exactly a normal street. Disobeying orders to stop driving in either direction could be catostrophic

Yeah, I'm trying to imagine the scenario developing where shooting comes into play.

Not suggesting the officer did anything wrong, I just want to know more of how it went down.
