NEW ORLEANS — One person has died after two people were shot in an incident near the 4200 block of Woodland Drive early Saturday evening, the NOPD said.

The victims were taken to the hospital where one of them - a male victim - was later pronounced dead. 

A person who lives in the neighborhood said she heard what sounded like at least nine shots and a short time later she said several police vehicles arrived at the scene.

An Eyewitness News crew said that the intersection of DeGaulle and Woodland was closed headed in the direction of the Mississippi River Bridge and that markers for shell casings could be seen on the ground there. 

Earlier in the day, the NOPD reported that two people had been injured in a shooting near the intersection of North Robertson and Louisa streets. Those victims were taken by private vehicles to the hospital.
