I'm on scene at the mall. We have set up a command post. There has been a shooting with multiple victims. All civilians have been safely escorted out of the mall.

Please keep the victims and their families in your prayers.

ICYMI: I joined Mayor-President Edwards and others in calling for a state review of city-parish finances.

As elected officials, it’s our duty to be staunch protectors of taxdollars. The @LALegisAuditor is widely respected, and I look forward to reviewing its report. #Lalege

[Councilwoman Jen Racca @JenniferRacca]

Thrive was an interim fix that would have eased the heavy burden facing East Baton Rouge Parish, and I’m proud to have supported it.

But after Saturday’s results, there's nothing left to do but make some tough decisions. #LaLege #BRGov https://t.co/TZtauHBmHY

Congratulations to the @BRFDPIO on earning a Class 1 fire rating for the 45th year in a row! 👏 🚒

I thank BRFD for its commitment to excellence and Baton Rouge’s public safety mission. #BRGov #Lalege https://t.co/qFXkWxfWzj

I’m horrified by this news.

Praying for Charlie’s widow, Erika, and their two young children who will now grow up without a father. 🙏

A safer East Baton Rouge Parish is on the ballot. That’s why I’m joining @MayorSidEdwards and other leaders in supporting the parishwide proposition from @EBRDA — so this constitutional office can more ably serve its constituents in every corner of every community. #BRGov #lalege

[Patrick Sloan-Turner @PatSloanTurner]

Baton Rouge Mayor Sid Edwards said last night he has voted yes for DA Hillar Moore’s tax proposal.

Proud to help deliver this win for various crime-fighting agencies critical to East Baton Rouge Parish’s public safety mission 🙏 #brgov #lalege https://t.co/V64Qgw7ROP

[Councilwoman Jen Racca @JenniferRacca]

This weekend’s violence serves as a stark reminder that violent crime remains a significant threat. My thoughts are with the victims, their families, and our first responders serving on the frontlines in our city.

We must support our public safety agencies at this critical time.

[WAFB @WAFB]

Her injuries are considered non-life threatening.

Today and every day, I’m committed to finding common-sense solutions to the challenges facing District 12 and beyond.

[Councilwoman Jen Racca @JenniferRacca]

Congratulations to @CoachSidEdwards on his victory last night! I look forward to working with his administration in the New Year and thank the outgoing administration for their 8 years of service to our community.

[Councilwoman Jen Racca @JenniferRacca]

I also want to congratulate my Metro Council colleagues who were elected last night! I’m excited to serve with new and familiar faces as East Baton Rouge Parish enters this next chapter.

Details of this public meeting will be finalized and made available soon. My top priority is ensuring we avoid detrimental impacts to any city-parish services or public safety at a time when we’re experiencing an uptick in violent crime. #LaLege #LaGov

[Councilwoman Jen Racca @JenniferRacca]

With St. George becoming a reality, it’s critical EBR moves forward united as one parish.

After the ruling was published, I moved to schedule a special Metro Council meeting ASAP to get a complete understanding of any fiscal impact it might have on our budget. #LaGov #LaLege

[Lara Nicholson @Laranicholson_]

Now that St. George organizers can actualize their plans to incorporate with Friday's historic state Supreme Court ruling, how will the new city look? Will they finally get their own school district? Here's what we know: https://t.co/2mZqYv68sm

[WBRZ News @WBRZ]

"In regard to how we move forward, it should be collaboratively. I believe that we should keep this from being a divisive issue."

Several Metro Council members spoke with WBRZ on Sunday about what will happen once the City of St. George is annexed.
