An investigation is underway after a New Orleans police officer shot a suspect at a convenience store in Mid-City on Friday night.
Police say Emmanuel Harris pointed a gun at several bystanders before entering the store on Canal Street and North Galvez Street. After he apparently took a woman hostage, police surrounded the place, including the SWAT team.
A few minutes later, Harris reportedly pointed his gun at the woman, and an officer shot him.
Harris is in critical condition. The woman was unharmed.
