McKnight, 28, was out of his car and was "positioned at the passenger window" of Gasser's Infinity when Gasser, seated in the driver's seat, fired three rounds from a .40-caliber weapon through the open passenger window hitting McKnight, according to the Jefferson Parish Sheriff's Office.
...
Witnesses told law enforcement that Gasser and McKnight were involved in a "heated verbal exchange" from their cars. The witnesses then heard a "rapid succession" of gunfire which drew their attention back to the men. At that point they told police they saw Gasser standing behind the vehicles and McKnight lying on the pavement between the Infinity and Audi.
A "civilian" pulled McKnight from between the cars and unsuccessfully attempted to revive him by administering CPR, according to JPSO. This person also told Gasser to secure his weapon in his pants pocket and wait for authorities, which Gasser did, police said.
McKnight suffered a gunshot wound to his hand, a second below his right nipple and a third to his right shoulder which punctured his lung, according to the Jefferson Parish Coroner's Office. The third bullet hit more than one organ.
...
Normand said at the press conference that the "stand your ground" law "looms on the horizon" but wouldn't discuss the issue any further.
