Four people were injured early Sunday morning in a shooting at the Winnfield Civic Center following an event attended by local teenagers.

Authorities reported that gunfire erupted around 1:30 a.m. when two individuals began shooting for reasons that remain under investigation. The incident caused panic as attendees attempted to leave the area and find safety.

All four victims, described as bystanders, were transported to Winn Parish Medical Center. Two of the injured were later airlifted by Pafford Air to trauma centers for additional treatment. As of the latest update, no fatalities have been reported, and one individual remains in critical condition.

Winnfield Police initiated an emergency response that included calling in off-duty officers to assist with crowd control, securing the scene and launching an investigation. Deputies from the Winn Parish Sheriff’s Department also responded, including Sheriff McAllister and Chief Deputy Guilliam.

The investigation is being led by Lt. Brian Glenn and Officer Edward Starks. Authorities said suspects have been identified and charges are pending.

Officials have not released the names of the victims due to their ages and out of respect for their families.

Anyone with information about the incident is encouraged to contact the Winnfield Police Department at (318) 628-3511. The investigation remains ongoing, and additional details will be released as they become available.
