The NOPD is investigating the fatal shooting of man they describe as an "armed home intruder."
It happened around 7PM Tuesday at a residence in the 1700 block of Cambronne Street in the Carrollton area.
According to investigators, 21-year-old Melvin Plummer of Marrero entered a house occupied by a 30-year-old woman and her three children and brandished a handgun. The woman, who has a concealed weapons permit, pulled a gun and shot Plummer multiple times.
E-M-S paramedics transported the suspect to a hospital where he later died. The name of the man who was shot has not been released.
Police say the investigation is ongoing, but for now they are classifying the shooting as "justifiable."
