Four people are dead and seven people are injured following a July 4th mass shooting at a block party late last night in Shreveport. Shreveport P.D.’s Cpl. Angie Wilhite urges the public to come forward with anything they may know about the gunfire…:
CUT 08(11) “…to justice.”
They say multiple males were involved in the exchange of shots. Call Caddo Crimestoppers at 316-673-7373.
Police in Rayne arrest two men they say were responsible for several shooting incidents on the July 4th holiday. Surprisingly, no one was seriously hurt in those incidents. The two suspects were allegedly shooting at one another.
And a shooting in Jennings late last night left one man dead another in jail for his murder. Police say the shooting was related to a home invasion.
Secretary of State Kyle Ardoin wants lawmakers to return to Baton Rouge and override one of the Governor’s vetoes; a bill seeking to do annual canvasses of voter roles to eliminate names of inactive voters. Ardoin says the bill made good sense and lawmakers should stand behind their votes for it…:
CUT 11(04) “…Governor’s veto.”
New Orleans Democrat Representative Mandie Landry says she doesn’t think a veto override session will happen. On the “Talk Louisiana” radio program, Landry says getting the two-thirds majority votes in both chambers to override will be a tall order…:
CUT 03(12) “…July 13th.”
She says a number of term-limited lawmakers may NOT want to come back.
