A man and a woman were shot on Bourbon Street early Saturday after two men opened fire on each other, according to New Orleans police.
Gunfire rang out just after 2 a.m. in the 100 block of Bourbon, the NOPD said, and an 18-year-old woman and a 57-year-old man who were in the area were struck by bullets and taken by EMS to an area hospital for treatment.
An NOPD spokesperson said Saturday morning that the two were in stable condition and their injuries were not life-threatening. The victims were not believed to have been involved in the argument that precipitated the shooting, but police said the investigation is ongoing and they urged anyone with information to contact the Eighth District at (504) 658-6080.
No information about suspects or motive has been released.
It's the second shooting on or near Bourbon Street in less than a week and the third in less than a month.
A French Quarter tourist from Oklahoma allegedly shot a homeless man during an argument near Bourbon and Governor Nicholls streets on the night of Jan. 18, then tried to flee with his mother from their hotel before police arrested him, authorities said.
