DEVELOPING: New Orleans police are searching for three suspects Sunday after at least 12 people were shot during a Mothers 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.

Poor shot. Either a drunk or a democrat.
Definately not NRA, which liberals will all claim as if on queue.
NOLA; natch. Wonder what Chicago’s stats for the day are?
There’s a difference?

If baraq had a NOLA family..
how about a drunk democrat??
No descriptions of the suspects?
That might help.
Each suspect has two arms and two legs, much like these people:
Bipedal locomotion with bilateral symmetry. That should narrow it down a little.
Mother's Day is much less confusing than Father's Day; for true!!
Well, it was a "traditional jazz band" parade.
I was SO surprised! I was expecting the yellow part to be the Amish!
Is New Orleans a gun-free zone?
Don’t take your guns to town, boy.
Unless you want to bust up a shooting spree.
That is Not funny!!! I did not laugh at that!! I am not laughing now. Really....I am not!!! Not funny.....snerk.

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.
