A man who police say was robbing another man was killed Friday night when
his intended victim pulled a gun and shot him in New Orleans’ Lake Forest
neighborhood, authorities said. Seventh District police officers responding
to the 11 p.m. shooting at 4316 Dodt St. found one man shot in the leg and
another shot in the leg, chest and hand, New Orleans Police Department
spokesman Joe Narcisse said. The man who had been shot several times was
dead. The other man was taken to Charity Hospital for treatment, Narcisse
said. The dead man had not been identified as of Saturday afternoon,
according to the Orleans Parish coroner’s office. Police did not give the
other man’s name. A department news release said he has not been charged,
but that the district attorney’s office would be consulted. Police
determined that the apparent robbery target was walking in a courtyard to an
apartment when he was approached by the other man, who was armed with a
handgun and tried to rob him, Narcisse said. The man refused to give his
money to the robber and pulled out his own handgun.
