BATON ROUGE — At least one person was injured after a shooting where a gunman opened fire on a group of people in a Brec Park after a fight.
The incident happened around 5:30pm at the Anna T. Jordan Brec Park. That’s in the 1700 block of Stilt St., nearby Hwy. 19 between Harding Blvd. and Rosenwald Rd.
UWK is told that there was a fight inside the park between a group of people. One person is said to have gone to his vehicle, where he retrieved a gun and opened fire at the people he was arguing with.
