The shooting happened in Colfax at Louisiana Mudfest, an ATV and mudding park where the weekend festival was being held, The Advocate reported.
Ardoin was slated as the Friday headliner, with Lil Nate and the Zydeco Big Timers scheduled to perform Saturday night. Lil Nate posted on Facebook on Saturday that his group was canceling their performance.
The Grant Parish Sheriff’s Office said in a news release that they responded to the park after receiving reports of multiple people shooting into a crowd. They said two people were struck by the gunfire and suffered moderate injuries, including a 14-year-old child.
The sheriff’s office said hundreds of vehicles tried to leave at once as people fled in panic.
Two people armed with guns were arrested but their identities have not been released and police have not said whether they are accused in the shootings that injured Ardoin and the teenager.
