A 42-year-old New Orleans man has been identified as the person shot by a Louisiana State Police trooper after driving the wrong way on Bourbon Street Thursday night (May 30).
Eric Kullander is expected to face charges including resisting an officer with force or violence, aggravated flight from an officer and reckless operation, according to a State Police news release, which says Kullander has been booked into Orleans Parish jail.
Authorities say Kullander was behind the wheel of a Kia Forte heading the wrong way along the 200 block of Bourbon Street just after 7 p.m. Troopers tried to stop the car, authorities said, and a trooper fired on the driver after the car sped toward a crowd of people.
The driver, since identified as Kullander, was struck once and taken to the hospital. The shooting was captured on surveillance video from the area.
State Police and New Orleans police are investigating the shooting.
