From staff reports

An unidentified man was shot dead Tuesday night while
allegedly trying to rob a woman in Faubourg Marigny, New
Orleans police said.

Police said the woman, 27, and a male companion, 28, were
walking about 8:45 p.m. in the 2200 block of North Rampart
Street when another man held a handgun against the woman's
back and demanded money, said Garry Flot, a police public
information officer.

Her companion, who has a concealed weapon permit, pulled his
own handgun and shot the gunman several times, police said.

The gunman, who had no identification on him, died at the
scene, between Elysian Fields Avenue and Marigny Street.

The case is under investigation, but no charges were filed
Tuesday night.
