BATON ROUGE, La. (WAFB) - Police are investigating a reported shooting Monday morning.

The victim drove herself to a hospital. It is believed she was shot by someone she knew.

Police are still searching for the shooter. If you have any information that may help police, call Crime Stoppers at 225-344-7867 (STOP).

Lamar closed its headquarters building for the remainder of the day.

“One Lamar employee was injured and is recuperating at a local hospital,” said Hal Kilshaw, Lamar VP of Governmental Relations. “Our thoughts and prayers are with her. The shooting occurred before most Lamar employees had arrived for the day and there are no additional injuries.”

The extent of the victim’s injuries is unknown.

Monday’s shooting marked the city’s fourth shooting in four days. The first shooting happened Friday, July 27 on Denham Street.


ETA: Attorney Gordon McKernan, is in a panic because of the delay the shooting has caused in his billboard campaign.

ETA 2: Title corrected. One injured not two.

I may be a product of Baton Rouge schools, but I believe I read well enough to know that the article clearly states only one person was injured.

Likely a husband shot her over her affair....

I hear that she recently got back from a "girls trip" on a carnival cruise.
