9 Injured in New Orleans Shooting
Police: 9 Injured in New Orleans Shooting
NEW ORLEANS — Jun 29, 2014, 11:39 AM ET
Nine people were injured, including one critically, after a shooting on touristy Bourbon Street in New Orleans' celebrated French Quarter.
One person was in critical condition after the early Sunday shooting, said New Orleans police spokesman Frank Robertson. Seven others were hospitalized in stable condition. The remaining victim's condition was not available. The victims were shot just two blocks from historic Jackson Square and just around the corner from the popular Pat O'Brien's piano bar.
An investigation is ongoing.
Sunday morning's incident is the third major shooting on Bourbon Street in the last three years.
Last February on the Saturday before Mardi Gras, four people were treated at a hospital after a shooting. During Halloween in 2011, one person was killed and seven others were injured after gunmen opened fire on each other.
Bourbon Street is New Orleans' most famous street, a nightly swirl of bright neon and happy tourists with beverage in hand. A blend of jazz joints, strip clubs, bars and restaurants, Bourbon Street has everything from four-star dining to sex shows.
Built on higher ground than most of the city, the French Quarter was spared the worst of Hurricane Katrina in 2005, mostly suffering scattered wind and water damage.

Police identify suspect sought in fatal New Orleans shooting
Fri Jul 4, 2014 9:05pm EDT
(Reuters) - Police in New Orleans on Friday identified a suspect in a shooting in the city's popular French Quarter last weekend in which a woman was killed and nine people were wounded.
Trung Le, 20, also known as “Joe,” is being sought in the death of Brittany Thomas, 21, of Hammond, Louisiana, who died of gunshot wounds on Wednesday, New Orleans police said in statement.
The Bourbon street violence began in the early hours of June 29 as a verbal dispute between two men, police said, and both then opened fire.
Le, of nearby Belle Chasse, Louisiana, is believed to have fired the first shot, police said.
Police said anyone who harbors or helps Le will be charged with obstruction of justice or being an accessory after the fact.
The victims ranged in age from 19 to 39, police said.
Bourbon Street runs through the heart of New Orleans' oldest neighborhood, the French Quarter, a prime tourist destination lined with bars, restaurants, clubs and souvenir shops.
On Thursday, authorities freed a 20-year-old man after questioning him about the shooting.
Justin Odom had turned himself in to police hours after being named as a person of interest in the shootings, the Jefferson Parish Sheriff's Office said. His possible involvement is still being investigated, police said.
