Four people were injured late Thursday night (Oct. 27) and early Friday morning in three different shootings in New Orleans and Jefferson Parish, authorities said.

The first shooting was reported at 10:10 p.m. Thursday in the 2400 block of Frenchmen Street near North Rocheblave Street. New Orleans police said a 25-year-old man was sitting on the porch when a black truck drove the wrong way down the street and an occupant fired at him. He was shot and taken to the hospital for treatment.

Then, at 1:10 a.m., the Jefferson Parish Sheriff's Office said a man was shot at Sam Lenox Street and South Causeway Boulevard. Authorities did not provide his condition, only saying his injuries were not life-threatening.

At 2:20 a.m., NOPD said two men, ages 24 and 28, were shot at St. Bernard Avenue and North Villere Street. Based on preliminary information, the men said they heard gunshots and started running. Then, they told NOPD, they realized they had been shot. Both were taken to a hospital for treatment.

No more information was available about the shootings, including a motive, suspect description or the victims' conditions.
