New Orleans shooting leaves five injured

Five people were reported shot Friday.

Five people have been shot and injured during a shooting incident in the US state of Louisiana, according to American police officials.

The incident took place in New Orleans on Friday afternoon.

New Orleans police spokesman Tyler Gamble announced that four male victims were wounded on Governor Nicholls Street and another male was shot six blocks away.

Two gunmen are at large and more than a dozen detectives and uniformed officers are investigating the incident.

The incident happened two days after three people were killed and another one injured following a shooting in New York City.

William Madrey, Stephanie Almadina Rivera, and Ciara Smith, were fatally shot by a gunman and pronounced dead at the scene.

Another woman who was standing next to the car at the time of the shooting was also hit, but she was expected to survive after receiving medical care at a nearby hospital.   

Gun violence in the United States is one of the most frequent crimes reported to the law enforcement agencies.
