A parade intended to show unity and support for the city's rebuilding was instead marred by violence Sunday when shots rang out, wounding three people as the event drew to a close.

Not long after the parade wrapped up, police officers patrolling the route heard gunfire. They then found a 34-year-old man with multiple wounds, police spokesman Gary Flot said.

Minutes later, after more shots rang out, officers discovered an 18- year-old woman wounded in the leg. A man, 20, also was shot in the leg, in the same area.

Can't blame it on the summer heat.

Wondering which hospital received the trauma case.

Yup. Only three shot, must be a shortage of targets.

I wonder if he'll fire up the buses to go and bring them back? If they don't come back they can't vote for him in the next election? Oh wait...stupid me... we get to pay for that through FEMA.

"shots rang out"

This is such a dopey phrase but it gets used over and over again.

It is as if a gun doesn't need a shooter -- or bullets don't need a gun!
