New Orleans Cop Shot Dead In Cruiser 

By Emily Shapiro, May 24, 2015, ABC News

A New Orleans police officer was found shot dead in his marked patrol car this morning, city officials said.

The shooting was reported around 7 a.m., the New Orleans Police Department said in a news release. The victim's car rolled forward and struck a curb after the shooting.

The officer's name has not been released, but the New Orleans police identified the victim as a 45-year-old man who worked as a Housing Authority police officer.

A Housing Authority of New Orleans (HANO) police officer "Investigates complaints, maintains order, aids individuals, and identifies criminal offenders," according to a summary of the position on hano.org. The officers also perform "unplanned physical tasks which include the restraining of violent individuals, running, climbing fences and responding to EMS and rescue emergencies. Officers must handle gun belts," the summary said.

The officer had been a member of the HANO Police Department since 2013, according to the police press release. The police department declined to comment further.

A pair of shootings less than two blocks apart in Bella Vista left three teens injured early Sunday.

Officers first responded about 1:20 a.m. to the 800 block of South Street, where they found a 16-year-old shot in his left thigh and a 17-year-old shot in his left leg, police said.

Both were taken to Thomas Jefferson University Hospital and placed in stable condition.

The victims told investigators they were walking west on South Street when they saw a group of men get into an argument at the intersection of 9th Street, police said. One of the men pulled out a handgun during the dispute and fired several shots, according to the victims' account.

That man is described as a 5-foot-7 black male between the ages of 18 and 21.

Officers were again called to the area shortly before 2:45 a.m. for a report of gunshots on the 900 block of Bainbridge Street.

There, they found a 19-year-old man suffering from a gunshot wound to his left leg. He was also placed in stable condition at Jefferson.
