FOR IMMEDIATE RELEASE

Fulton Shooting

Shreveport police responded to a shooting in the 3200 block of Fulton Street this afternoon.

Eddie Goss, age unknown, of Shreveport was shot in the face and arm following a dispute with a co-worker over a stolen harness. Both the victim and suspect are employed by a subcontractor working on the Calumet expansion, according to Calumet spokesperson Liz Swaine.

The argument began between the victim and suspect at the construction site, but then went offsite and involved the suspect chasing and shooting the victim in the 3200 block of Fulton.

Goss was taken to LSU Hospital with non life-threatening injuries. Meanwhile, the suspect reportedly fled the scene in an SUV.

The investigation continues
