Another Shooting?

As if we haven't seen enough of it in the past year, there was yet another shooting in Louisiana today. During a Mother's Day parade in New Orleans, a gunman took fire and injured nineteen people including two children.

New Orleans is known for their parades that typically take place on Sundays. Today's parade was a special one dedicated to mother's for Mother's Day.

No one went to that parade expecting to get shot at. No one goes anywhere expecting to get shot it. New Orleans crime rate is continuing to go up no matter what they do to try and stop it. The Mayor made a statement challenging the community to get involved,

"It's important for us, as I have said, to change the culture of death on the streets of New Orleans to a culture of life, and it's going to take an all-hands-on-deck approach," he said.

New Orleans has been through so much in the last decade with the devastation that came after hurricane Katrina.  The Mayor and others should be working their hardest to keep the spirits of people in New Orleans up and positive.

The New Orleans Police Department has said they are going to attack this case aggressively and hopefully figure out who did this right away.
