1 Dead, 3 Wounded in Mardi Gras Shooting
From Times Wire Reports
Gunfire erupted among the crowd of people watching a Mardi Gras parade, killing a woman and wounding three. Four teenagers were arrested in connection with the shootings.
Hundreds of people watching the Krewe of Muses parade stampeded to safety when they heard the gunfire and some members of a high school band marching near the shooting dropped to the pavement. An argument among a large group apparently sparked the gunfire, but the victims were believed to be bystanders, Police Capt. Marlon Defillo said.
