KENNER, La. — Three Louisiana police officers were injured Sunday by gunfire during a confrontation with a man suspected of shooting three other people over the past week, authorities said.
The wounded officers were taken to a hospital after they were shot Sunday morning at a home in Kenner, about 15 miles west of New Orleans, Kenner Police Chief Keith Conley said. Their conditions were not immediately known.
SWAT team officers were still outside the home Sunday afternoon, The Times-Picayune/The New Orleans Advocate reported. No arrests had been announced.
The man who shot the officers was wanted in a shooting earlier Sunday that injured two people, Kenner police spokesman Capt. Michael Cunningham said. He said the man is also a suspect in a robbery and shooting Tuesday that left a man in critical condition.
