One of the victims is in critical condition, officers said. Police haven't arrested anyone either, but they believe the early morning attack was “targeted.'
BATON ROUGE, La. — A dozen people were injured in a Baton Rouge nightclub shooting, authorities in Louisiana said Sunday.
"This was not a random act of violence, based on the preliminary investigating efforts," Baton Rouge Police Chief Murphy Paul said at a news conference Sunday afternoon. “We believe that this was a targeted event, where someone was specifically targeted and others were injured in that process." “There is someone who knows something — do the right thing. You can save the next incident because it is obvious that this person has total disregard for life,” Paul said.
“I do understand the interest and everybody wanting information, but remember ... we have to get this right,” Paul said about the ongoing investigation. “And sometimes, getting it right means I can't give information right now.”
