  One man was killed and three others were injured in an early morning shootout on Interstate 110 near the Weller Avenue Exit, a Baton Rouge police spokesman said in a news release.

  Officers patrolling the area at about 2 a.m. saw what appeared to be a stalled or crashed vehicle in the south-bound lanes of I-110, Capt. Rodney Adams said in the relase. Upon further investigation, officers found four shooting victims in and around the vehicle.

  All four were taken to local hospitals for treatment of gunshot wounds, Adams said. One of the men, who has yet to be identified, died. The other three suffered non life-threatening inuries.

  The interstate where the shooting occured will be closed this morning while homicide detectives investigate the crime scene.
