Helmut, that police presence near your house…on campus or across the street?
Sounds like the issue is at KOK. Shooting, 3 people injured.

No crime scene tape this morning. I guess they have things wrapped up. Probably not a good idea to shoot a couple of people in front of several hundred witnesses.
Good wings. Ghetto culture. Not great for business.
Thug life culture will ruin your business everyday.Quote:

It is a restaurant that started out as a food truck. Mostly chicken wings and fried food. There is not a bar in the restaurant. They may sell beer by the bottle. Not sure about that though.Quote:

Tulane has a bar in the student unionQuote:

Did the shooting originate on Lamar or Stephenson?Quote:

KOK has an outdoor seating area that fronts on Lamar. This area has a wooden fence that is along Lamar. Apparently the altercation happened outside of this fence and there were stray bullets that penetrated the fence and hit three people in the seating area. (THAT IS A GUESS ON MY PART!!!!) They were probably sitting by the fence enjoying a meal and just like that one of them is dead and the other two are headed to the hospital.
I did leave my house about 6:30 to go to the grocery store. I drove down Stevenson street and it was very crowded and saw no security (they usually have security when they have an event). As I was driving down the street I started to get a bad feeling about the situation. I passed by KOK on University on my way back home (about 7:00 P.M.) and saw people in line in the front of the place waiting to get in. Again I saw no security. I got back in my house and listened to the rest of the football game and didn't hear any shots or sirens. I got a text message from a friend at 8:41 asking me if I heard about the commotion at KOK. I said no.
The only thing I know is that usually when they expect a big crowd they have security. They did not have any on Saturday. Probably a bad decision. Once the police got there and secured the scene they cleared everybody out by about 9:00. I let my dog out in the back yard about that time and saw the flashing lights and figured they finally got some security and tons of cars leaving on Stevenson street. At the time I didn't know about two people getting killed and another two being injured.
As an aside, Nathan Pike has some work to do because the KATC news app has nothing on this incident while KADN and KLFY do. That's sad.

Their “neighborhood reporter” wasn’t available.Quote:

The biggest hurdle is the format. Surfing the lazy wave for a week on (one if the common themes) a business that is destroyed by fire/natural disaster is stale on day 2.
Do they still have a concession booth in the south end zone at football games?Quote:

What was the event?
Suspect is from St. Martinsville. There was also a deadly shooting at the SMHS vs Erath football game a couple of weeks ago.Quote:

Heard a story about that shooting. 2 kids grew up in the same neighborhood. Hated each other got arrested multiple times for fighting since they were young. They got in a fight before the game. 1 beat the crap out of the other. The loser left, came back with a gun and shot the other. Fled the scene and was arrested in Beaumont.Quote:
