Shooting Victim Crashes, Runs Onto BAFB Causing 2nd LockDown Today

Bossier City, La. — Bossier City Police responded to a reported shooting in the 1200 block of Gibson Circle between approximately 1:10p.m. Friday, September 18, 2026.

Preliminary information indicates a man was shot, crashed a vehicle and then fled on foot, entering Barksdale Air Force Base before being located and transported to Ochsner LSU Health with injuries believed to be life-threatening.

Police secured an extensive crime scene near Gibson Circle as investigators with the department’s Violent Crimes Unit responded. Authorities have not released information about a possible shooter or what led to the gunfire.

The incident prompted Barksdale’s second lockdown Friday. People on the installation told Love Shreveport-Bossier that the lockdown has since been cleared after officials determined the shooting did not occur on the base. Barksdale has not yet released an official statement about the second lockdown.

The investigation remains active, and information could change as authorities learn more.

Drivers and residents should avoid the Gibson Circle area while police collect evidence.

Coffee Shops Keep Pouring Into Shreveport As Scooter’s Coffee Adds Another Location

Shreveport, La. — Construction is underway on another Scooter’s Coffee location at 2522 East 70th Street, adding to Shreveport’s rapidly expanding coffee market.

The Caddo-Shreveport Metropolitan Planning Commission approved the commercial site plan in September 2025 under case 25-18-C. MPC records identify the project as “Scooter’s Coffee E. 70th” and list the property in District 4. An opening date has not been announced.

The construction comes as several national coffee companies expand throughout Shreveport. Dutch Bros operates locations on Youree Drive and Mansfield Road, while two 7 Brew locations are planned for Youree Drive and Mansfield Road. Starbucks also maintains multiple locations across the city.

Locally owned businesses also remain part of the growing market. Sipp House celebrated its official grand opening this summer on Texas Avenue, while Rhino Coffee operates three Shreveport locations.

With another Scooter’s now under construction, the competition for Shreveport’s coffee and specialty-drink customers continues brewing.

Shreveport’s Overnight Truck Parking Expands With Two More Approved Lots

Shreveport, La. — Shreveport’s overnight truck-parking capacity is preparing to expand again following the approval of two additional developments. The projects follow I-20 Parking at 3801 Greenwood Road, which received its occupancy approval in January 2025 and now offers secure parking with 24-hour gate access.

The first new development, MPC case 25-114-C, was approved March 4 for 6617 Westport Avenue in District G. Plans submitted by JBF Engineering & Surveying show 50 numbered truck and trailer spaces, each approximately 14 feet wide and 75 feet long.

The Westport facility is designed with a gated entrance, security fencing with privacy slats and barbed wire, lighting and a crushed-concrete parking surface. The plans also include drainage improvements and a detention area.

A second development, case 26-85-C, was approved August 5 for the 6000 block of Courtesy Lane in District B. Plans prepared by Mohr and Associates for Truck Hotel LLC show a large gravel facility with two rows of angled truck spaces, a turnaround, gated access, a detention pond, landscaping, a private fire line and a fire hydrant.

The additional capacity may be intended, in part, to prepare for increased commercial-truck traffic associated with major data-center construction and other industrial development planned for the area. Neither site plan, however, identifies data-center development as the reason for the projects. Construction and opening dates for the Westport Avenue and Courtesy Lane facilities have not been announced.
