A standoff between New Orleans police and a suspect who allegedly shot at police officers is now under way in the Upper Ninth Ward.
An NOPD spokesperson say the officer in need of assistance call came just before 7 p.m. Saturday from North Tonti Street near Clouet Street.
The spokesperson says intial reports state that the suspect shot at officers who were executing a warrant. So far, no injuries have been reported.
The suspect has reportedly barricaded himself inside a house in the area.
The standoff is taking place about a block from where a deadly shooting happened earlier in the day on Saturday. Police have not said if this incident is connected to that shooting, which took place about five hours prior.
This is a developing story.
