TERRYTOWN, La. - Gunmen in dark clothes kicked down an apartment door in a troubled New Orleans-area neighborhood and opened fire, killing two children and a woman, authorities said.

A third child was in critical condition after the shooting around 4 a.m., and investigators were searching for suspects, said Jefferson Parish Sheriff's spokesman Col. John Fortunato.

HUmmm - mama had her first baby at 13? And crack / weed in da house?

The shame of this all is that 3 children were gunned down and the article seems to show a “business as usual” slant.

Time to pull out of N.O. It IS Somalia on the coast....

Prayers up for the innocent children involved here.

Now the murderers and the rapists they go in this firey lake
As well as most of the politician and the cops on the take
And all the mothers that wait to get to K-Mart to spank their kids
Instead of showing them how to do what’s right,
they just hit ‘em for what they did
And all the daddys who run off and abandon their daughters and sons
Oh anybody that hurts a child is gonna burn until he’s done

This is how “The Man” deals with skimmers.

It’s thought as a detriment, much like the government’s used of the death penalty.

It was a Friday night, she could've been babysitting. It doesn't say any of the children were her's. RIP.

A little more info.

Frantic mother of child killed in Terrytown rampage subdued with Taser

This probably involved Katrina trash. After the hurricane the so called "katrina refugees" started spreading out into the surrounding parishes wrecking havoc as they came.

This incident did not occur in NOLA, although it probably did involve NOLA refugees.

[Steelfish]

Oops- sorry for the replication

[BBell]

My wife works in NOLA. One of the areas she has to drive through to get to work is referred to as black hawk down. In the aftermath of Katrina there were no street lights working and no lights in the surrounding buildings. This made for a real spooky drive.

[ASOC]

The Parish (county) includes N.O.? Yes?

Been years since I was N.O. Even then it struck me as a Zoo. You know, someplace you go to watch the animals...

[worst-case scenario]

“Katrina trash”? You’re talking about two little children - one wasn’t even 2 years old yet. The woman who was watching them had only moved into the area three months ago; she was 19.

You may have had problems caused by people displaced in the aftermath of Katrina, but these two little children didn’t cause them.

Terrytown is on the west bank and is in Jefferson Parish. New Orleans is in Orleans Parish. That said they are within the major urban population area.

[ASOC]

Just wondering - you can answer or not -

But does she carry? I would hate to think what could happen if the auto broke down.... I guess the cell fone work tho.

I watched a documentry on the CoE clean up of one area in N.O. - how the appliances were collect for shredding, the houses torn down, etc etc. Everywhere looked like a ghost town.

[BBell]

By using the word “Katrina trash” I was referring to the gunman.

[BBell]

New Orleans is in Orleans parish. Terrytown is in Jefferson Parish. They border each other but Jefferson Parish is safer. Harry Lee spent his life keeping the riff raff from Orleans Parish out of Jefferson.

[BBell]

She doesn't carry. She works on a military installation and you are not allowed to bring firearms on the base she works at. She usually car pools and they are all Marines or former Marines she car pools with. Not to mention the steady stream of traffic coming into where she works is mostly military and someone would stop to help if your broke down.

[ASOC]

Cool X 10. Nothing better than having a Marine at hand to keep things safe. I just started a job where I can carpool - nice deal if you get a good bunch to ride with....

thanks

[ASOC]

OK

Had to go look at a map. Kind of like Denver and Aurora CO.

Drive down the raod, one is one town, the other side, a diferent one.

Little different here. Some miles between towns.

The Jefferson Parish web site is a pretty upbeat read.

[worst-case scenario]

Ah okay, there I agree with you.

[rock_lobsta]

You know, someplace you go to watch the animals...

Except these animals have automatic weapons.

[BBell]

I didn’t mention that my wife is a retired Marine.

[ASOC]

LOL

Well then, nothing to worry about here.

And please, pass alng my thanks for her service.

[Secret Agent Man]

I can’t believe it was random. They must have either wanted something they thought was there or it was retaliatory in some way.

Prayers for the lost and for their grieving family’s

Nothing like being murdered but....

when I visited NOLA back in 77 I was propositioned by a drug dealer, missed being robbed at gunpoint in a Burger King by 30 seconds, and nearly being ran off the road by someone taking an exit when he was in the far left lane.

This all happen within 30 minutes of each other.

NOLA was a toilet bowl back then, let alone now.

[fieldmarshaldj]

RIP.

I lived in a subdivision literally on the other side of a canal, though completely isolated, from that neighborhood.

It was a craphole 10 years ago. Wouldn’t be surprised to hear about a murder there. Algiers kinda slowly krept into that part of Jefferson Parish.
