over 1 year ago

Five people were shot on Bourbon Street early Sunday (Nov. 27), marring what had been a festive celebration on the weekend of the Bayou Classic football game.

New Orleans police said the gunfire broke out around 1:49 a.m. in the 200 block of Bourbon Street, leaving multiple victims wounded in the French Quarter. The NOPD said the victims included three males and two females, but did not disclose their ages.

NOPD spokesman Gary Scheets said none of the victims’ injuries are considered life-threatening.

Police said an argument took place before an unknown male suspect “produced a gun and began firing into the crowd, striking multiple victims.” All five shooting victims were taken for hospital treatment by New Orleans EMS personnel, and the trauma center of University Medical Center activated emergency staff under its mass casualty event protocol.
