"Street Violence" in New Orleans

Ten men, seven women, and a girl and a boy both age 10, were hit when gunmen opened fire at the parade. Police said they were looking for three suspects, adding that a motive for the shooting was unknown. A police spokesman said the investigation was continuing. "There's nothing new to report," he said.

[...]

[Police Superintendent Ronal ] Serpas told reporters that officers saw three suspects running away, with one about age 18 to 22.

[...]

Photographs of the aftermath in the Times-Picayune newspaper showed a man lying on his stomach beside a pool of blood, being helped by two bystanders. Other photos showed a man in shorts sitting on a cobbled street, his calf bleeding and covered with a bandana.

[...]

Two victims underwent surgery and the children were grazed but in good condition, police said on Sunday.

[...]

The FBI attributed the incident to "street violence," not terrorism.

  Chicago Tribune
Because they used good old American guns and not Middle East-flavored IEDs. And because the suspects are (or at least one of them is) “African-American.”  At least until we find out if they are Muslim.  Then we might change our story.

”Street violence.”  Really?  Firing indiscriminately into parade goers.

...but hey, do what you want...you will anyway.
