NEW ORLEANS — Authorities say a detective has shot a man in a New Orleans suburb. The Jefferson Parish Sheriff’s Office tells news outlets that the man is hospitalized in stable condition after dropping roughly 20 grams of marijuana and pointing a semiautomatic handgun at two detectives Saturday night. Sheriff’s Office spokesman Glen Boyd said in a statement one detective fired three rounds at 20-year-old Demone Carto, who was struck once in the lower back. The detectives were responding to a complaint when they saw the man later identified as Carto making a drug deal. Both detectives tried to approach after identifying themselves as police.
