NOPD: Woman shot into Bourbon St. bar, punched cook over food

The woman fled onto Bourbon Street, and police have not located her as of Wednesday morning.

NEW ORLEANS —

A woman who opened fire inside a Bourbon Street bar Sunday morning reportedly started shooting after punching a cook over the quality of her food, authorities said. 

The New Orleans Police Department is looking for the woman, who attacked bar employees at a location in the 400 block of Bourbon Street around 2:20 a.m. 

According to the NOPD, the woman began arguing with a cook over the quality of her food. When she began punching the employee, another person - the victim from the police report - stopped the fight and escorted the woman out of the bar. 

She reportedly returned to the bar soon after and pulled out a handgun from her purse, pointing it at the victim and demanding a refund. When the victim told her to leave, she fired a shot into the back wall of the business before escaping back onto Bourbon Street. 

Police have not located a suspect in the shooting, and are asking for anybody with information to contact NOPD Eighth District detectives at 504-658-6080, or to call Crimestoppers at 504-822-1111 or toll-free at 1-877-903-STOP.
