NEW ORLEANS (WGNO) — The New Orleans Police Department had a busy New Year’s Eve.

The NOPD made two firearms-related arrests overnight and is actively investigating a shooting incident that occurred on December 31.

Around 10. p.m., NOPD Seventh District officers began investigating an unrelated traffic stop reported hearing shots fired in the area of the 7800 block of Coronet Court.

Upon further investigation, officers discovered three male subjects firing weapons, one of which was armed with a rifle. 

The suspect armed with the rifle allegedly pointed the weapon at officers before all three subjects fled on foot. 

Officers pursued on foot and apprehended one of the subjects, found to be a 17-year-old juvenile.

The suspect was booked into the Juvenile Justice Intervention Center for three counts of aggravated assault upon a police officer and one count each of illegal use of weapons, possession of a firearm by a juvenile and flight from an officer.

Police are still looking for the two additional suspects.

Anyone with additional information on this incident is asked to contact NOPD Seventh District detectives at 504-658-6070 or to call Crimestoppers of Greater New Orleans anonymously at 504-822-1111.
