BATON ROUGE - Two people were shot in a shopping center along Siegen Lane after a car meet-up turned violent late Tuesday night.

The shooting happened around 11:45 p.m. in the Siegen Lane Marketplace, where a group was holding a Fourth of July car meet.

At some point, someone started launching fireworks at another group of people across the parking lot. One of the people on the receiving end of those fireworks then reportedly grabbed a handgun and started shooting.

The two people hit were innocent bystanders, according to police. Both were taken to a hospital and are expected to survive.

Authorities have not announced any arrests at this time.

Pretty sure I heard these gunshots before I went to bed on July 4th.

ETA: and the fireworks that preceded it.

That phrasing implies this was a peaceful, officially sanctioned gathering of law abiding citizens.

Really surprised such an event was marred by gun violence.

Typical 4th of July happenings around town - you had this as well

The Baton Rouge Police Department has arrested two men accused of engaging in sexual activity under the U.S.S. Kidd on Tuesday, July 4.

Jerry Hatfield, 57, and Matthew Norris, 48, were charged with sexual acts prohibited in public, officials said.

According to police, when they arrived at the ramp on S. River Rd., (U.S.S. Kidd) around 1:20 p.m., a witness said they observed the two men with their pants down caressing each other.

Police said they also saw Hatfield and Norris engaged in sexual activity before arresting them. When asked about the incident, the two men blamed each other for performing acts on one another, arrest documents state.

Fireworks and illegal discharge of a firearm are against the law in EBR Parish. We need more laws!
