LAKE CHARLES, LA (KPLC) – A woman was shot and injured in a shooting after an argument outside Ole Habits Bar in Moss Bluff.
The shooting happened around 12:30 a.m. Sunday, the Calcasieu Parish Sheriff’s Office said.
When CPSO deputies arrived, they found a woman with a gunshot wound to the lower back.
The victim was taken to a local hospital where she underwent emergency surgery, CPSO said. She is now in stable condition.
A preliminary investigation by CPSO deputies revealed a physical altercation outside the bar involving several people, the CPSO said. Several shots were fired during the altercation, and a handgun and several shell casings were located near the victim.
Two Westlake men, Justin Wareham, 40, and John LaPointe Jr., 39, were arrested and booked into the Calcasieu Correctional Center.
Wareham is charged with aggravated battery and unlawful use of a weapon during the commission of a crime of violence, CPSO said. LaPointe Jr. has been charged with aggravated assault with a firearm and unlawful use of a firearm.
Wareham was arrested earlier this year for illegally discharging a firearm in an abandoned parking lot in Sulphur.
Bond is still pending for both men, CPSO said.
The investigation is still ongoing.
