A bystander sustained gunshot wounds after an argument broke out between two patrons at a Walmart in Baton Rouge. One suspect is currently in custody, while the other remains at large.

The victim is a 42-year-old father who was in line buying a lunchbox for one of his children. He received multiple gunshot wounds and was transferred to a local hospital where he is in stable condition, according to East Baton Rouge Sheriff Sid Gautreaux.

The initial reason for the altercation is unknown.

"It escalated to both of then pulling guns and one of them firing shots. We think the guy at large is the one who fired the shots, but we won't know until we get him in custody," Sheriff Gautreaux said.

The suspect at large was wearing a black shirt and black shorts. Law enforcement has expanded their search perimeter and asks that local residents remain aware of their surroundings and notify them in case they have any information regarding the shooting.

Contacted by CheckNews, the street-reporter says: "We were in the late afternoon, it should be 16:30 or 17 hours, and we were in the city center, between the crossroads of streetcars and the street of peace. It was very tense, a person behind me was being taken care of by firefighters after a shot from LBD. "

Still according to him, "the person on the ground in the photo went to the BAC to tell them that a man was on the ground, just a little further, to ask them to calm down. This is where the BAC agent jumps on him and puts him on the ground.

He says, "He did not do anything before. He was just going to tell them that there was someone on the ground, not far away, under a blanket of survival. "

A photo showing a survival cover appears in the series of photos published by Bsaz on his Facebook account . Also contacted by CheckNews, the photographer assures: "There was indeed a wounded man on the ground, who could not be moved. And yet, teargas grenades continued to be thrown. The climate was very tense, with one injured on the ground. "

Did the man who was violently questioned attempt to alert the police to the presence of an injured person? "I did not hear it precisely, but it is possible. We were all trying to alert the police at that time, the photographer answers. They grabbed him, and when we got closer to him, while he was on the ground, they threw us a de-encircling grenade. Given the proximity to the injured person, who could not move, we were very scared for her. "

Two other demonstrators, present on the spot, and contacted by CheckNews, then ensure to have seen the man handcuffed, sitting on the ground, surrounded by men of the BAC. "He had great difficulty breathing," they say.

Evidence corroborated by a video circulating on Twitter. One recognizes the same man on the ground, at the feet of the agent of the BAC having questioned him, between two vans of police. While one of the agents tries to hide the scene with a supermarket cart, the man seems on the verge of unconsciousness, and witnesses ask the police to call for help.

When contacted by CheckNews, the Police Information and Communication Service (Sicop) gave another version of the facts: "This man was arrested because, a few minutes before - which is not shown on the video - he had thrown a glass bottle at a police officer. During his arrest, the man did not let himself be taken in, and tried to hit the police officer several times in the face (which is not clearly visible on the images)" The Sicop confirms that the man had to be taken into care of after the violent arrest, invoking the effect of tear gas: "He was taken by the police to the hospital, because he was inconvenienced by the gas."

And then what? "He came back to the police station at midnight. He was heard this morning, acknowledged the projectile throw, his custody was lifted and the investigation continues in preliminary."

Concerning the violence of the interpellation, the Sicop replied: "The colleague did as best he could. The objective was to try to keep him in handcuffs while he was handcuffed."
