Authorities said a woman was shot around 1 a. Less than 24 hours after arriving in New Orleans, the Weigold family from Boston witnessed the violent incident from their Airbnb balcony on Iberville. Dramatic video shows a shootout in the French Quarter. Cell phone video captured by the family shows a heated fight breaking out on the street below. One had a baton or a pipe. In the video, someone is seen wielding what appears to be a pipe and hitting another person.
A woman exits the nearby Ghost Bar holding a chair, which she throws at one of the people involved. After picking up the chair and throwing it again, shots are fired, striking her. The footage suggests the woman may have returned fire. Weigold estimates hearing at least 10 shots. Surveillance video from a nearby business shows police arriving within minutes to assist the woman and secure the crime scene.
