(Reuters) -Five people were hospitalized after being shot and critically injured in a drive-by shooting at a liquor store in Shreveport, Louisiana, CBS-affiliated television station KSLA reported late Sunday.

Authorities described the injuries as life-threatening, with police on the lookout for a white Ford car, the report said.

The incident comes amid fresh debate over U.S. gun controls, stoked by an incident last week where a gunman shot eight people dead and injured several others at a FedEx (NYSE:FDX) facility in Indianapolis before taking his own life.

In Sunday's Shreveport incident, four people were outside the store, in Hearne Avenue, while one person was inside the store when the shooting happened, according to the report.

Reuters was not immediately able to contact local police. The Shreveport mayor's office didn't immediately respond to Reuters' request for comment.

Eleven police units were at the scene of the incident, which happened around 9 p.m. local time Sunday, the report said.

Where 500k - 3 million times a year someone uses a firearm to defend themselves from *** ******or other violent crime. Never mind them though, right?
guns never fire themselves. govts simply want to take away your guns in the name of public safety (which will have the exact opposite effect)
drugs never make you high themselves .....
Banning drugs doesn’t work either.
Yep like Europe, no guns and we have like 0 mass shooting.

Other countries don’t have mass shootings every single day. That’s a fact.
Where Lack of common sense gun controls meets lack of mental health support for the lunatics. The lunatics cant discipline themselves to begin with, even less in a pandemic that drives the patience of even the most patient up the wall. When will congress care more for the people than kickbacks from the gun lobby?
Talking points right from CNN, eh?
NRA lobbying is too much to resist.
12 mass shootings since bidens been in office
How many people killed in Baltimore, Chicago, and LA since Biden's been in office.  I forgot you leftists don't care about that because its in leftists gun control utopia
Maybe its time Biden starts to fill up the jails with criminals, rounding up the gangs, maybe deal with the idiocy that is the cities in the US?
