ORIGINAL STORY:  Shreveport police are searching for suspects in an early-morning shooting that happened outside a local doctor's office.

What we know so far is that a man and his girlfriend went to pick up a car they had left outside the business at Bert Kouns and Fern Avenue while they went out. When they pulled up, four guys wearing bandanas over their faces jumped out of another car and pulled guns on the couple.

The male victim pushed his girlfriend to the floorboard of his car and fired a shot, hitting one of the suspects. The four men fired more than a dozen shots before running off.

The man and woman weren't wounded, but two windows at Dr. Dare's office were shot out. The incident was caught on the doctor's surveillance video. Detectives should be reviewing that now.

We'll bring you more details on this story as we get them.
