The only two things that surprise me are that it hasn't happened before now and it hasn't happened during Mardi Gras. Yes there has been shootings during Mardi Gras but not like this, usually there's just one or two victims.

Stuff like this and the Boston Marathon bombing confirms my practical phobia about crowds. I don't like them and do everything I can to avoid being in them.

NEW ORLEANS (AP) — Gunmen opened fire on dozens of people marching in a neighborhood Mother's Day parade in New Orleans on Sunday, wounding at least 19 people, police said.

The FBI said that the shooting appeared to be "street violence" and wasn't linked to terrorism.

Many of the victims were grazed and most of the wounds weren't life-threatening, according to a police news release. No deaths were reported.

The victims included 10 men, seven women, a boy and a girl. The children, both 10 years old, were grazed and in good condition. Police said at least two people were in surgery Sunday night.
