Five victims were taken to University Medical Center and the other five were taken to Tulane Medical Center.

At least one victim was shot in the chest and another was shot to the torso. The conditions of the other victims was not known.

Ferguson said officers were in the 700 block of Canal Street when they heard to the shots and believed they were being fired upon.

One person was detained, but it is not clear what that person’s involvement is.

Detectives are in process of speaking to witnesses and working to obtain surveillance video.
