Police arrest bouncer in Bourbon St. shooting

The New Orleans Police Department arrested a 30-year-old man in connection with a double shooting on Bourbon St. Sunday night.

Cops booked Shaquille Henderson on two counts of attempted second degree murder, and various gun charges in the shooting of two men.

New Orleans EMS took the two victims to University Medical Center.
