Raw footage: NOPD officer shot in apartment raid

An NOPD officer was shot in the right arm and rushed to the hospital after an exchange of gunfire at an apartment complex in New Orleans East Tuesday, April 21. Police Superintendent Shaun Ferguson said officers were responding to the report of an aggravated assault suspect in a residence in the 6700 block of Bundy Road. "The officers entered that residence at which time an exchange of gunfire ensued," said Ferguson. "An officer was shot in the right arm... I had the occasion to see him at the hospital. He was in great spirits and was responsive in stable condition." Ferguson said 28-year-old Horace Toppins was arrested and was not injured. He was booked Tuesday afternoon on a count of attempted first-degree murder. The officer who was shot was not immediately identified. One woman who was inside the apartment at the time of the shootout posted video of the clash's aftermath. In the clip, the wounded officer is lying on the ground on his back and is being tended to by fellow first responders, who tell him "you're OK, you're OK" and "just relax."
