Canal Street completely blocked off after multiple people shot Sunday night
NEW ORLEANS — At least four people have been shot in downtown New Orleans Sunday night.
Canal Street is now completely blocked off as police investigate the scene near Elk Place and the 1400 block of the major road.
An EMS spokesperson said four gunshot wound victims, all critical, have been taken to the University Medical Center trauma center from the scene for treatment. One victim is 17-years-old.
A fifth person was also taken to UMC for scrapes and cuts but not a gunshot wound.
RTA streetcar services are temporarily suspended going inbound towards Elysian Fields because of police activity.
Street service will also be cutback going inbound at Liberty Street and Canal Street, the RTA said.
All Westbank buses headed inbound will be cut back at Common Street and Loyola Avenue, they said.
Neither the names of the victims nor details on a motive or suspect have been given.
