One person was detained immediately following the shooting, though it is unclear their connection to the incident.
At least four people were shot along the route of a Mardi Gras parade Sunday night, New Orleans police said, including one young girl. The Krewe of Bacchus parade, a beloved annual Mardi Gras tradition, was temporarily halted as police canvassed the area.
A woman was also among the injured, though police did not disclose any further information on the remaining two victims. All four were transported to a local hospital in unknown condition. Photos of the crime scene show trash and debris strewn across the street and on either sidewalk, the remnants of a mad dash to safety as shots rang out. The parade eventually started moving again, though with significantly fewer onlookers.
