		</div><p>An officer working on security at a high school basketball match in New Orleans has died after being shot in the chest by a man who was denied entry into the game.</p>
<p>Shots were fired near the gymnasium at George Washington Carver High School.</p>
<p>The man got into an altercation with a staff member after he tried to enter the game, police superintendent Shaun Ferguson said.</p>
<p>After the officer went to intervene, the man shot him in the chest.</p>
<p>Two loud bangs were captured on video shared by WGNO-TV as the high schoolers played. A photographer from WWL-TV also reported that the gunfire could be heard inside the gym.</p>
<p>The school was put on lockdown after the shooting, news outlets reported, and the game was ultimately called off.</p>
<p>The officer was taken to University Medical Centre in New Orleans, where he later died.</p>
<p>Ferguson said the officer was a deputy constable with the Second City Court and a Tulane University police officer.</p>
<p>Police did not immediately name the officer or the suspect, who was arrested quickly after the shooting.</p>
<p>The fallen officer had been “a fixture at Carver sporting events and parades”, according to a statement from the high school.</p>
<p>“All spectators, families, and players are safe — a testament (to) the officer, outside security support, school staff, and systems in place.”</p>
<p>The school also said it would offer resources to anyone in the Carver community who needed support in the wake of the shooting.</p>
