VIDEO: First responders become victims of a drive-by shooting in Shreveport.
The personnel are okay and were not injured. Despite being shaken, they quickly rushed back into action.
Stray bullets struck an innocent bystander and a fire station on Monday night. Police said two vehicles were driving down David Raines and Martin Luther King Drive, shooting at each other or outside their vehicles. A stray bullet hit a person in the leg who was getting off the bus. Bullets also hit Fire Station 6, breaking a window while firefighters were working inside.
“One of our youngest firefighters is a 22-year-old female who was sitting on a bench in our engine room, which is right next to the bedroom. All took cover. No one was injured. But it does take a mental toll on our firefighters,” said Chief Clarence Reese, Shreveport Fire Department.
