Mid-City car owner exchanges gunfire with suspected car thief
Police are investigating a series of car break-ins in a Mid-City neighborhood after a suspect exchanged gunfire with the owner of a car he attempted to steal Thursday night.
The percussion of gunshots woke residents near the corner of Palmyra and S. Gayoso. No one was hit, however.
Nevertheless, several cars sustained damage when the vehicles were broken into.
New Orleans Police have a suspect in custody they believe is responsible for the burglaries, but are still searching the area for a weapon and evidence. Few other details have been released.
"I woke up and came outside," Patsy Fluker said. "I noticed my car was broken into. There was a lot of blood everywhere on all the seats."
One neighborhood resident moved back following Hurricane Katrina to show his support for the city he loves. Having to be anxious about possible car break-ins isn't something he wants to do.
"For me to come back to worry about somebody breaking into my car, that's just something I don't want to do," Tyrus Morris said.
