Police investigate shooting

Shreveport police are looking into a shooting that occurred at Poland and Missouri about 9 p.m. last night.

Christopher Chapple, 21, was shot once and taken to LSU Hospital. He was listed in fair condition this morning.

The victim was standing next to a vehicle talking to people inside when another vehicle drove up and someone fired gunshots. The shooting may have stemmed from an argument the victim and the suspect had earlier in the day.

The investigation continues. No arrests have yet been made.
