Gunfire erupted Saturday evening in Bogalusa just hours after the city celebrated Mardi Gras with the yearly MCCA parade.
Police said people were gathered at the intersection of Martin Luther King Jr Drive and East 4th Street near a convenience store.
Sgt. Mitchell Castleberry says a domestic dispute led to 41 YO Less Dillion, driving up to the crowd and opening fire.
Bystanders started shooting back.
After more than 40 shots, ten people, including Dillion, were shot, with minor to serious injuries. The youngest was a 6 YO. All of them were taken to area hospitals.
Dillion was airlifted to St. Tammany Health System, arrested upon release, and taken back to Bogalusa yesterday.
Police said Dillion was a convicted felon and had been arrested in Bogalusa 18 times since 2003. That included weapons, drugs, and domestic violence charges.
Anyone with information about this shooting is asked to call the Bogalusa Police Department at 985-732-3611.
