NEW ORLEANS - Gunmen opened fire on dozens of people marching in a Mother's Day second-line parade in New Orleans on Sunday, wounding at least 17 people, police said. Police spokeswoman Remi Braden said in an email that many of the 17 victims were grazed and most of the wounds weren't life-threatening. No deaths were reported. Police Superintendent Ronal Serpas told reporters that a 10-year-old girl was grazed in the shooting around 2 p.m. She was in good condition. He said three or four people were in surgery, but he didn't have their conditions. Officers were interspersed with the marchers, which is routine for such events. As many as 400 people joined in the procession that stretched for about 3 blocks, though only half that many were in the immediate vicinity of the shooting, Serpas said. Police saw three suspects running from the scene in the city's 7th Ward neighborhood. No arrests had been made as of late afternoon. Second-line parades are loose processions in which people dance down the street, often following behind a brass band. They can be impromptu or planned and are sometimes described as moving block parties.

That takes the whole "Get off my lawn" to a whole new level.

That just proves that citizens need to be armed because there is no guarantee that law enforcement can protect us at all times and I can not afford security for my family.

I've read that shootings at "second lines" are not uncommon.

Sad stuff. just another reason why people should carry. "For whoever would give up freedom for security, deserves neither".

or you could create/foster an environment were people are less prone to less senseless violence but as we all know this is not the reality that we live in, we live in a society that promotes violence 24 hrs a day.

by simply saying more guns is a solution it's not a solution at all, as it solves no problem except the "threat of the day". what you subscribe to is called de-evolution.

So we all disarm ourselves and wait for your Utopian society to emerge? I think I'll continue to take responsibility for my own protection in the meantime. Let me know when you've got things all squared away so I can go destroy all my guns.
