Summary:

Team in BuCar Surburban # 09 en route to Metairie at 23:17hrs driven by Agent G. Parisi observed black Lexus R300 (no plates) running dark behind them.  Driver slowed as car passed them.  Military issue machine gun deployed by UNSUBs in the Lexus with 30 shots fired.  Follow Up: Shells found at scene and in the remains of Suburban #09 confirm weapon was M249 SAW 5.56mm Nato. 

[ATF Supplemental: RIMFIRE analysis shows same weapon has been deployed twice in New Orleans before by Boy Teche and crews associated with Sixth Precinct Drugs Wars - 2004-2007.  Weapon reported lost during Louisiana National Guard Iraq training exercises, Lafayette HQ, LA - (256^th Infantry Brigade, Jul 03).  Shells come from separate shipment of 5.56N ammo (DOD ID#234002-31) ‘lost' en-route to Ramstein airbase, Germany from England Air Park, Alexandria, LA - ATF Open File #889901]

Bullet impact caused BuCar to swerve off road and roll down ditch into field.  Agents F. Greene and B.Summers received light wounds from ricochets.  Agents G. Parisi and NCIS Agent P.M. Martikian wounded during crash.  Only Agent Summers was conscious when BuCar came to a stop and she managed to revive Parisi, Martikian and Greene.  Aware that the Lexus with armed UNSUBs was returning, the team spread out and prepared to defend themselves. Parisi notified command by mobile phone of the situation and local law enforcement was deployed. 

At this point a 3^rd party appears to have intervened with 2 potential assailants affiliated to the South Claiborne Crew (Stenneau) receiving fatal GS wounds from a large calibre rifle.  These have subsequently been identified as Lkwan Wayne AKA L-KAY and Reggie Watts AKA RAGDOG.  Wayne was shot in the head and Watts in the torso.  The rounds used have not been recovered and are believed to be frangible in the .30-.50 calibre range.  A barn , 900 metres west of the incident site has been identified as a likely shooting point classing the shooter as elite.  No casings recovered and no other physical evidence barring a boot scuff which has yet to be matched.  There is evidence of a medium 4 x 4 having traversed from road to the barn (about 200m) - tire treads indicate Goodyear Eagles used on a wide variety of this size of 4 x 4 - Area CCTV is presently being examined.

Agents Parisi and Martikian discharged service weapons (3-5 rounds each) at fleeing Lexus with unknown results.
