The man was transported to a local hospital where he underwent surgery for a gunshot wound to the chest, Ferguson said.
No officers were injured in the incident, he said.
New Orleans Police’s Force Investigation Team, which investigates police use of force is investigating the incident, Ferguson said, adding that the crime scene stretches from the 400 to 500 blocks of St. Louis Street.
The four officers who responded were re-assigned as part of the New Orleans Police Department’s standard protocol pending the investigation, Ferguson said.

“[It’s an] unfortunate incident whenever our officers have to resort to using their weapons during their course of duties,” Ferguson said. “We are praying for the family of this individual as well as our officers.”
It wasn’t immediately clear in front of which bar the gun fight occurred, Ferguson said, but added that it happened outside.
