Three shootings overnight
Police said the first shooting happened around 12:20 a.m. near the 2600 block of Elm Street. A second incident was reported at about 1:05 a.m. on the 2600 block of Main Street.
The third shooting began around 1:35 a.m. on the 200 block of S. Crowdus Street. Police said the three events appeared to have no connection to one another.

Four people died in the shootings, while at least 15 others were injured, Comeaux said. The number of injured could rise, as some people had made their own way to nearby hospitals. Police said one suspect had been taken into custody and that authorities were looking for at least one other person.
