Sheriff: 3 wounded after 'gun battle' in Ascension Parish
GEISMAR - Officials say a shootout left three people injured Wednesday afternoon.
The incident happened around 2:30 p.m. Wednesday at a trailer off Conner Road in Geismar. Sheriff Bobby Webre said the shooting unfolded after a group of young men showed up at a trailer where another group of men were reportedly recording a music video.
Webre said the "gun battle" broke out during a confrontation between the two groups.
Officials tell WBRZ Eric Washington sustained a gunshot wound to the leg, 18-year-old Jaydin Johnson was shot in the hand, and 21-year-old Jeramiah Hall was shot in the face.
All three victims were taken to the hospital and are expected to survive.
