NEW ORLEANS (NEWS1130) – New Orleans police say 19 people have been wounded in a shooting during a Mother’s Day parade on Sunday.
Two kids, aged 10, were among the injured.
Officers were interspersed among the hundreds of marchers, which is routine for an event like it.
Second-line parades are loose processions in which people dance down the street, often following behind a brass band.
The FBI say the shooting appeared to be “street violence” and wasn’t linked to terrorism.
