Shreveport, Louisiana

From the January 8, 2006 Shreveport Times:

A 25-year-old Shreveport man was hurt after would-be robbers fired a shotgun at him early Saturday morning, Shreveport police said.

Quinton Geiggar was taken to LSU Hospital in Shreveport with a nonlife-threatening wound just above his left eye.

Geiggar stopped at a store in the 1900 block of Hollywood Avenue about 1:30 a.m. when four men in a blue Ford Crown Victoria stopped next to him, police said. One man yelled, "Give me your car," while another pointed a shotgun at him. Geiggar turned and ran for the store.

At least one robber got into Geiggar's car and started to drive off, police said. Geiggar than fired a handgun four times at the robbers. The driver of the vehicle slammed it into a telephone pole and fled with the others, but not before one of struck Geiggar with a shotgun blast.
