3 Killed In Mass Shooting At US Independence Day Celebration: Report

Shreveport District A Councilwoman Tabatha Taylor told KSLA, the gathering "was a block party that is held every year on the Fourth of July."

A Fourth of July celebration in north Louisiana turned tragic after a mass shooting left three people dead and at least six other people injured in Shreveport, according to information provided to CNN affiliate KSLA by Shreveport officials.

As per information from police released to KSLA, it was difficult to get to the victims because of large numbers of parked vehicles belonging to the crowds of people attending the festivities.
