Four people were shot, one fatally, in two separate shootings in Ville Platte Saturday.
The first shooting happened just before 1 p.m. at the Parkview Apartments on Dupre Street. A 25-year-old man was wounded and taken to the hospital, where he is listed in stable condition.
The second shooting happened hours later, around 9:15 p.m., near the intersection of Huey P. Long and Reed streets. Three people, two men and a woman, were riding in the car when someone fired at it. The two men - the 26-year-old driver and a 27-year-old passenger - were wounded and taken to the hospital, where they are in stable condition.
But the woman, a 19-year-old, died from her wounds, police say.
