Here you go OP!

Suspect has been caught but the authoriites won't give any details.

Sadly, as a Southeast Louisiana native, my initial reaction is, Meh, it's Naw'lins.

It’s also the French Quarter. Lots of alcohol and other substances.

Plus, nothing good happens after midnight.

Not much info being put out about this, but I found a few more details:

" New Orleans Police Chief Mike Harrison has identified the deceased as 25 year old Demontrius Tolliver of Baton Rouge.

He says of the 9 other victims, 5 have been released from the hospital and 4 are still being treated. "


Wonder why MSM is so silent about this mass shooting?

Ah, the shooters name tells me this won't be headline news.

"How racist laws made the shooter shoot people" is the headline I would expect anyway.

That's the name of the person that died. So far, no news about the shooter. From what I've read so far, it looks like the police don't know who the shooter is. They're looking at surveillance video.

When the shooting happened, police were in the area and thought they were the target so they took cover. I guess by the time things calmed down, the shooter was long gone.

From the quoted source:

No suspects have been arrested, however Harrison did note that the suspects were not from the New Orleans area.
An investigation is ongoing.

So there's still time to blame Trump followers for this. In the mean time how many were killed this weekend by "Black on Black" violence in Detroit or Chicago?

Wasn't it reported that the police were already in that area for an event, they heard gunfire thought they were being fired upon and responded?

Maybe this is a different event.

Ah ok, so still may be the headline news then... will have to wait until they catch the shooter for the media to decide.

Looking at the article linked above, it appears the Grambling and Southern Football game was going on. Both HBCUs. In other words, this wasn't a random mass shooting but more likely a "street disagreement." Probably wasn't a white person to be found within 10 blocks of that area on that night.

The media doesn't really cover mass thug shootings with the same fervor.
