New Orleans shooting:

the melee began with an armed robbery, which led to a suspect opening fire on police.

Four people were transported to University Medical Center, New Orleans EMS spokesman Jonathan Fourcade said. Those people included a 17-year-old, he said. A fifth person who was not shot was brought to the hospital to be treated for abrasions, Fourcade said. EMS received the call at about 6:45 p.m. Sunday.
