(94,737 posts)(CNN)Three people were shot after a high school graduation ceremony Tuesday on the campus of Xavier University of Louisiana in New Orleans, officials said.
One of the victims, an elderly female, has died, New Orleans Police Department Chief Deputy Superintendent Christopher Goodly told reporters.
The university was hosting a graduation ceremony for nearby Morris Jeff Community School.
The shooting took place around 11:45 a.m. when NOPD officers working a security detail responded to a call for shots fired in the parking lot of the Xavier University Convocation Center, a NOPD news release said. When officers arrived, they found three gunshot victims -- two men and one woman -- who were all taken to local hospitals. The woman died at a hospital, the release said.
