Shooting at Mall of Louisiana

Shoppers and employees scrambled for safety as gunfire erupted inside Louisiana's largest shopping center on Thursday.

The Baton Rouge Police Department confirmed that the incident was a 'targeted' attack resulting from an argument between two rival groups.

While several suspects are in custody, authorities are still searching for at least one additional shooter who fled the scene.

Governor Jeff Landry praised the quick response of law enforcement, but the event has reignited concerns over public safety and gun violence in the state.
