(20,868 posts)>>NEW ORLEANS New Orleans police say 17 people have been wounded in a shooting during a Mother's Day parade in New Orleans on Sunday.
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 grazed by a bullet was among those wounded 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 among the hundreds of marchers, which is routine for an event like it.

(36,974 posts)Normally CNN.com has a top banner with breaking news.
And at least an article.
But there is NOTHING on the CNN.com website.
If this happened in a rich white neighborhood, they'd have tons of coverage!

At least they were bad enough at it not to kill anyone.
This time.
