One Juveniles Killed, Nine Injured in Shooting During Mamou Mardi Gras Zydeco Concert

Mamou, LA – A mass shooting during a live performance in Mamou on Tuesday evening has left one juvenile dead and at least nine others injured, according to local authorities.
Officials report that two of the nine injured remain in critical condition, and they believe additional victims may have yet to come forward.
Law enforcement is urging anyone who was wounded to immediately report to authorities.
Authorities have confirmed that one person of interest is currently in custody.
During a live performance by Chris Ardion, at least ten gunshots rang out into the crowd, causing panic and prompting concertgoers to flee, according to a video shared on social media.
Another video from the scene shows officers forcing three men to the ground, with at least one of them being handcuffed.
Officials are investigating whether Tuesday’s shooting is connected to a separate Monday night incident in Mamou, where a fight led to three people being shot during another live performance.
Authorities say those victims sustained minor injuries, but it remains unclear if the two incidents are related.
Law enforcement officials remain actively on the scene, and multiple suspects are currently being questioned.
Authorities continue to investigate the circumstances surrounding the shooting.
Anyone with information is urged to contact local law enforcement immediately.
