19 shot at parade
19 shot at parade, NEW ORLEANS (AP) — The FBI is calling it street violence, not an act of terror.
But a shooting in New Orleans’ 7th Ward Sunday shattered the festive mood at a Mother’s Day parade.
Gunmen opened fire on marchers. At last count at least 19 were wounded, three seriously.
Police say three suspects fled the scene, and they’ve made no arrests.
Police say that two of the people shot in New Orleans during a neighborhood Mother’s Day parade were children. A news release initially said the wounded included 10 men, six women, a boy and a girl.
The children were both 10 years old.
The release said two people were in surgery Sunday. Many of the victims were grazed and most of the wounds were not life-threatening.
