Police in Shreveport seek the public’s help in finding the gunmen responsible for a late-night mass shooting last night, at a July 4th block party in the city’s MLK district. Cpl. Angie Wilhite, with Shreveport Police, says they got a call at about 11:45 of gunfire in that neighborhood…:
CUT 06(11) “…fore department.”
We do not have the names of those killed in last night’s shooting. As of now, no suspects have been identified. Caddo Crimestoppers will take tips at 318-673-7373.
Calcasieu Parish Sheriff Tony Mancuso warns residents to be wary of phone calls saying they are with the Sheriff’’s Office, and threatening arrest for an outstanding warrant. The callers usually solicit gift cards to settle an alleged debt to avoid the arrest. Mancuso says do NOT comply. Call his office and report the scam attempt.
State lawmakers have until the 13th to decide if they will or will not meet to attempt an override of any of Governor John Bel Edwards’ vetoes. New Orleans Democrat House member Mandie Landry says she doubts it’ll happen, despite many Republicans up-in-arms because the Governor vetoed three bills seen as “anti-LGBT”…:
CUT 05(12) “…hot right now.”
She says getting two-thirds majority votes in both chambers for veto overrides is a tall order to fill.
One person who wants that override session to happen is Secretary of State Kyle Ardoin, who says the Governor killed a bill to do regular voter canvasses to clear inactive voters for purely political reasons. He urges lawmakers to come back to Baton Rouge…:
CUT 10(08) “…our rolls clean.”
