Four people were wounded in a pair of shootings Wednesday night (May 15) in the St. Rose area of St. Charles Parish, according to parish authorities.
Investigators believe the two shootings, which occurred shortly after 6 p.m., are connected, the St. Charles Parish Sheriff’s Office said in a news release.

Three of those wounded were taken to University Medical Center in New Orleans, while the fourth was taken to Ochsner Medical Center in Kenner.
