The shots were fired in the food court, police said, describing it as a targeted incident during a fight between two groups, and not a random act of violence.
The scene has been secured, police said.
“Please keep the victims and their families in your prayers,” Edwards said in a statement.
Louisiana Gov. Jeff Landry said he’s aware of the shooting and is coordinating with law enforcement.
