Graphic Photo & Video: 19 Wounded In Mother's Day Parade Mass Shooting

% of readers think this story is Fact. Add your two cents.


Nineteen people including two young children were shot on Sunday when gunfire erupted at a Mother’s Day parade in New Orleans, police said.

New Orleans Police Department members are seen at the site of a shooting of at least 19 people during a Mother’s Day parade in New Orleans, Louisiana, May 12, 2013.


More from Reuters:

Shots rang out at 1:45 p.m. local time as the second line of the parade passed the 1400 block of Frenchmen Street in the city, New Orleans Police Department spokesman Garry Flot said.

Ten men and seven woman were shot along with a 10-year-old girl and 10-year-old boy. The children were grazed and are in good condition, Flot said in a statement.

“Many of the victims were grazed some by bullets that ricocheted,” he said.

Two victims are undergoing surgery, according to Flot.

New Orleans police superintendent Ronal Serpas told reporters at least one other person was injured as spectators fled the scene.

Emergency medical responders took 11 people to Interim LSU Public Hospital in New Orleans, according to hospital spokesman Marvin McGraw. [...]

Officers saw three suspects running away, one described as dark-skinned male aged 18 to 22 with short hair, Serpas said. No arrests were made.

Photographs of the shooting 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.

      The government will keep doig these false flag attacks until they take EVERY FREEDOM FROM US. Don’t fall for their lies.

      • Equalizer

        Bulls-eye tonybinca… Expect nothing less from obamunism!

      • Paul Gilbert

        tonybinca knows only two words false flag know wonder the USA wants to take guns from you because your a idiot this is why 19 people was shot at because a idiot in the usa with a gun again :roll:

    • rebelwithaclause

      Both of these two “VICTUMS” have similar looking backpacks that look pretty empty.

      • romeoZx

        this doesn’t look like a false flag. They probably brought their bags to bring a water bottle. I do this all the time. To bring a lunch or something to drink.

        What does the neighborhood have to do with anything? Hello, it happened in NEW ORLEANS… It’s pretty common knowledge that except for the main tourist part of the city, the rest of the city has NEVER fully recovered from Katrina… There are still entire sections of town where it looks like a third world country… It’s sad to see all this violence though, however, not convinced this is a false flag, more likely it was gang related or something along those lines.

      I’ve never heard of a mothers day parade. Mothers who don’t know who the father is have parades for themselves?

      • Neil Armstrong

        Yes

      • jsangel09

        :mad: and where do you get the right to make assumptions as to the mothers not knowing who their kids fathers are? Oh wait, there’s a bunch of black people there, so logic must dictate that that is a fair assumption to be made, right? The ignorance of people is sad…

        • American People in 2016

          well logic and statistics….

        • Anonymous

          you have heard of the saying “baby daddy?” right. well if it wasnt a common thing that they ahve no idea who baby daddy is then they wouldnt have a saying for it….doncha think? its a running joke based on fact. eventually the joke will be on the rest of america as they will overrun the country with pods, or passels, or gangs, or schools of daddy babies, thats what you do in a long protracted war to take over a country you out breed the enemy, simple you can take over without a shot being fired eventually

      • jsangel09

        Again, total ignorance… I hate to break it to you but it’s the current younger generation, and yes, this includes plenty of white people, who have made the “baby daddy” phenomenon ok… Go to Maine, for example, with a maybe 1% non-Caucasian population, and in certain towns, usually the less affluent ones, there’s an epidemic of young WHITE females with three or four “baby daddy’s” and it’s totally the norm… It has more to do with economic status than race. The probability of a young white girl having multiple kids fathers coming from a poorer community trumps the probability of a Hispanic or black girl being in the same predicament coming from a more affluent family…. And yes, for all you ignorant people, there are PLENTY of minorities who are hard working tax paying family people with decent morals and values. Not every black or Hispanic grows up in poverty or lives off the system. Just saying…

        Some people/communities have events to honor their mothers. You may hate your mother, that may be why this doesn’t make sense to you..

      • Paul Gilbert

        if you don’t know what a mothers day parade is read learn or google before posting

    • christine

      Why do both of these ‘victims’ look as if they’re not even concerned at all about their wounds. If they were shot, they’d be in a load of pain that a flimsy makeshift bandage wouldn’t make all better.

      We were warned about a possible false flag to get people’s eyes off the Obama administration and Bengazi.

      • Paul Gilbert

        :roll: so I take it you been shot then

    • ImprobabilityDrive

      Why this guy is holding the bike which doesn’t belong to him. :???: Very disturbing

      • American People in 2016

        and why is JaMichael trying to sell crack to the injured people?

    • Anonymous

      Omg. If I hear “terrorist” or “false flag” used in conjunction with this one more time, I will be physically ill. For anyone that DOESN’T live down here, I will put it in simple terms. That is the “7th Ward” in New Orleans. It is the damn ghetto. There are gangbangers. They shoot each other and whoever happens to be around ALL THE DAMN TIME. Yes, it WAS more excessive than usual, and it probably WILL be used as some sort of lame excuse for martial law, but once again, this happens all the time in New Orleans, so unwad your panties about the false flag business.

      And go ahead and jump my ass for that. I don’t care. I’m just telling it like it is.

      • jsangel09

        Agree 100%

      • Game-Over

        “Terrorist” False Flag” Now please take a photo of your physical illness as proff for us all to see.

      It’s the khaki pants guys! It’s the khaki pants guys! RUN! It’s the Illuminati!! Or, we can blame it on Obama and Hillary. Yeah, that’s the ticket because SURELY it just couldn’t be done dumb asshole who wanted to shoot some people. Oh, and no need for any background checks because these guys were perfectly normal, huh?

      • Anonymous

        Guaranteed the a-hole never had a backgroud check and if he had one he couldn’t pass it.

    • UM...

      People always get shot out there, the only reason why its such a big deal now is because the govt can benefit from this foolishness… Gun control, martial law, because people like this need it.

    • Witakers

      Mother’s day should be spent with your mother, not in a gaggle trying to hump other gorillas

      • jsangel09

        Again, ignorance… The gorilla comment is totally uncalled for… Also, it is a longstanding tradition to have a parade EVERY Sunday in New Orleans…

      This was not a False Flag event . How do I know ? All the major media outlets were not right in the middle of the event , with their cameras covering every angle of the incident . The FBI , DHS , CRAFT , Police S. W. A. T. teams were not in the general area , ready to take action . And there was no U. S. Government terrorist shooting exercise scheduled for the area in question !
