SHREVEPORT, La. (KSLA) — Three people were shot at close range in north Shreveport’s Cherokee Park neighborhood, police say.

Two of the victims were in a car in the 2200 block of West Algonquin Trail. Another was in a carport there.

Medics have taken all three to the hospital. Authorities tell us that two of the victims are in critical condition.

The gunfire was reported at 8:53 p.m. Thursday, Sept. 16, Caddo 911 dispatch records show.
