Williams allegedly got into a 'domestic situation' with a woman and 'fired multiple rounds' at people gathered on a porch - hitting three, reported Nola.

After that he went to the 1400 block of North Derbigny Street and shot a person in the face. That victim is now undergoing surgery at a hospital. The other three were hospitalized and said to be stable.

After this Williams stole a car at gunpoint and returned to the scene of his first shooting before opening fire on investigating officers. He hit one officer, who suffered a 'minor graze wound' to the chest.

The officer, who has not been identified, was being treated for the wound on Sunday evening and was 'in good condition,' officials confirmed.

Williams then led officers on a chase and crashed. He was arrested and booked on several charges.

'He is being charged for multiple armed robberies, multiple shootings in and around the city of New Orleans,' Harrison said.
