A suspect fatally shot two people at a gun store in a suburb of New Orleans on Saturday afternoon, and the shooter also died during gunfire as others engaged the suspect both inside and outside the outlet, authorities said.
...the initial shooter fired inside the Jefferson Gun Outlet in the suburb of Metairie, striking the two people who were later pronounced dead.
...several other people — whether employees or store customers — then opened fire on the shooter, both inside and outside of the building. The suspect also was killed, according to Lopinto. He added that two other people were wounded and have been hospitalized in stable condition.
Guns and ammunition are sold in the front of the outlet that faces a main thoroughfare through Jefferson Parish. Customers who want to frequent the gun range generally go around to the side entrance of the building. Staff who work there often wear a sidearm.
... two other people were also hit by gunfire and were hospitalized in stable condition. He said there were multiple shooters in all and investigators had just begun trying to piece together what happened.
...details remained sketchy.

A 1911 with a spare mag? Expecting a large group of robbers? 🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣
Sources say that the man got into an argument with a clerk who told him he should not have a loaded gun until he got inside the range.
I don't know the laws in LA but in PA, I can carry an open loaded gun anywhere except a school or gummint buildings where my betters are located.
Gun store, bar, church, or just down Main Street, in Greensburg, the County Capitol, BUT, if I take one step onto the revered Court House hallowed ground, I'm facing a minimum of 5 years, which I guarantee the County DA would push for the maximum sentence.
An old, white, NRA member, a Vet, a Trumpster, what a prize, better than shooting a 12 point buck.
Yep, he'd have my old white butt in the slammer faster than you can say, "Miranda Rights".
