Two dead in domestic shooting outside St. Tammany pharmacy, authorities say

ST. TAMMANY PARISH, La. (WVUE) – Two people died in what authorities described as a domestic shooting outside a Slidell-area pharmacy Monday afternoon (Oct. 14), the St. Tammany Parish Sheriff’s Office said.

The shooting happened just before 4 p.m. outside a Walgreens at South Military Road and Gause Boulevard, just outside Slidell city limits. A heavy police presence was seen outside the store and the parking lot was taped off as a crime scene as motorists drove past.

A sheriff’s office spokesman said a man died at the scene and a woman was taken to a hospital, where she also died from gunshot wounds.

The agency described the shooting as domestic in nature involving two people who knew each other, but the nature of that relationship was not immediately known. The spokesman said it did not appear that the two people arrived at the Walgreens together and that investigators were still working to determine who fired the shots.
