Lt. Kevin Kirkum said his department received a call at about 12:45 p.m. Monday about a disturbance at 2110 Winterhalter Street.
“The disturbance escalated into a confrontation in which shots were fired,” Kirkum said.
He said when officers arrived they found a female victim.
Kirkum said the victim has been transported to a local hospital.
He said that at about 3:24 p.m. officers learned the shooting suspect had a relative living in a home at 324 White Street.
“There are some indicators that the subject may be in there,” Kirkum said. “Because this is a bodily incident, the SWAT team has been called out to make a trip to the home and see if someone is there.”
Kirkum said he does not know if the victim and the suspect are related and would not be releasing their names.
“We are considering this a barricade situation, but until we know more that’s how we’ve got to operate.”
Lake Charles Police have had the electricity turned off at the White Street home.
