Problems in south Shreveport today.

There's been some sort of "well control issue" on Hwy. 1 between Yearwood and Ellerbe roads. No injuries have been reported in the gas well blowout. A voluntary evacuation is in place for homes within a half-mile radius. It was recommended for those households to evacuate until further notice.
At this time, Hwy. 1 South in both directions is closed to traffic at Hwy. 509, Hwy. 175, and Ellerbe Road. Caddo deputies are on the scene.
