Manhunt in New Orleans after 17 shot in Bunny Friend Park
A large late night gathering in the Upper 9th Ward turned deadly when gunmen opened fire at Bunny Friend Park injuring 17 people including a 10 year old. Mayor Landrieu called it domestic terrorism while police conduct a citywide manhunt and urge witnesses to come forward. Witnesses linked the event to an impromptu music video during a Nine Times Social & Pleasure Club second line, though the group said it was not their event.
