KENNER - Authorities are searching Jefferson Parish for a person who fired shots at police officers Monday morning following a traffic stop. 

The incident was reported around 11 a.m. behind a Rouses near the Kenner-Metairie line. WWL reports police were chasing the suspect when that person stopped near the store, got out of the car and opened fire.
