\"\"<\/a>NEW ORLEANS (AP May 13, 2013) \u2014 New Orleans police say they’ve obtained video showing a possible suspect in the shooting that wounded 19 people at a Mother’s Day parade.<\/p>\n

The surveillance video shows the crowd dispersing and some falling to the ground before one person in a white T-shirt and dark pants runs away from the crowd. The image of the man isn’t clear but police say they hope someone will recognize him.<\/p>\n

Police say they have posted still pictures of the suspect on YouTube.<\/p>\n

Police also say the \u00a0reward for information leading to arrests and indictments in the case is $10,000<\/p>\n

NEW ORLEANS (AP May 12, 2013) \u2014 Gunmen opened fire on dozens of people marching in a Mother’s Day second-line parade in New Orleans on Sunday, wounding at least 17 people, police said.<\/p>\n

Police spokeswoman Remi Braden said in an email that many of the 17 victims were grazed and most of the wounds weren’t life-threatening. No deaths were reported.<\/p>\n

Police Superintendent Ronal Serpas told reporters that a 10-year-old girl was grazed in the shooting around 2 p.m. She was in good condition. He said three or four people were in surgery, but he didn’t have their conditions.<\/p>\n

Offiicers were interspersed with the marchers, which is routine for such events. As many as 400 people joined in the procession that stretched for about 3 blocks, though only half that many were in the immediate vicinity of the shooting, Serpas said.<\/p>\n

Police saw three suspects running from the scene in the city’s 7th Ward neighborhood. No arrests had been made as of late afternoon.<\/p>\n

Second-line parades are loose processions in which people dance down the street, often following behind a brass band. They can be impromptu or planned and are sometimes described as moving block parties.<\/p>\n

A social club called The Original Big 7 organized Sunday’s event. The group was founded in 1996 at the Saint Bernard housing projects, according to its MySpace page.<\/p>\n

The neighborhood where the shooting happened was a mix of low-income and middle-class row houses, some boarded up. As of last year, the neighborhood’s population was about 60 percent of its pre-Hurricane Katrina level.<\/p>\n

Police vowed to make swift arrests.<\/p>\n

“We’ll get them. We have good resources in this neighborhood,” Serpas said.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
