     There were no shots fired calls reported between 4/7/24 to 4/13/24.

     There was a triple shooting outside of 2901 Bar and Lounge (2901 Tulane Avenue), location of occurrence listed as Tulane and S. Dupre, this morning approximately 1:20 am.  The incident will be on next week’s crime map.  There is no clear motive for the shooting at this time; but based upon past experience it’s my opinion the perpetrator’s saw a target(s) they likely were looking for and took the opportunity to attempt a homicide.  There were three victims that suffered gunshot wounds, but an additional three that suffered property damage.  One subject is critical at this time and there were approximately 40-50 rounds fired according to witnesses.  The location was filled with bar patrons at the time of the shooting.  Any additional information on this will be forwarded to you all.
