DEVELOPING: New Orleans police are searching for three suspects Sunday after at least 12 people were shot during a Mother’s Day parade.

Chief Serpas announced in a press conference that the youngest victim is believed to be a 10-year-old girl. Police say she suffered a graze wound, WVUE Fox 8 reported.

Police say about 300 were attending the traditional jazz band parade when shots were fired.

Serpas said that the procession had been accompanied by officers, who saw two or three suspects run from the scene in the city's 7th Ward.

Nobody has been arrested. It's unclear what sparked the gunfire.

No descriptions of the suspects?
That might help.

"New Orleans police are searching for three suspects Sunday after at least 17 people were shot during a Mother’s Day parade"

Each suspect has two arms and two legs, much like these people:

Bipedal locomotion with bilateral symmetry. That should narrow it down a little.

Well, it was a "traditional jazz band" parade.

Is New Orleans a gun-free zone?

Don’t take your guns to town, boy.

Unless you want to bust up a shooting spree.

A social club called The Original Big 7 organized Sunday’s event. The group was founded in 1996 at the Saint Bernard housing projects, according to its MySpace page.

The neighborhood where the shooting happened was a mix of low-income and middle-class row houses, some boarded up. As of last year, the neighborhood’s population was about 60 percent of its pre-Hurricane Katrina level.

Honestly, the Amish shouldn’t be demonized, but the community has enough issues that deviate from a commitment to a lifestyle of peace and non-violence it shouldn’t exactly be glorified IMO either....they are human and as such you will run the gamut.
