An off-duty NOPD officer was shot during an armed robbery attempt Thursday night, according to the New Orleans Police Department. Officer Louis Blackmon, a four-year veteran who serves in the Fourth District, was in the 300 block of North Rendon Street around 10:35 p.m. when an armed subject came up to him, pointed a gun, and demanded his possessions. Police said a struggle ensued and the officer suffered a single gunshot wound to the abdomen. He was taken to the hospital and his condition was said to be stable. NOPD officers were in the area Friday, going door-to-door to ask questions and look for possible surveillance video of the incident that people in the area said occurred in a parking lot shared by Bayou Beer Garden and Camp Bow Wow animal daycare.
