Five people, including a girl, were shot toward the end of the route of Sunday's Krewe of Bacchus parade, one of the largest of Mardi Gras season in New Orleans, police say.
Police officials said at an informal news conference that officers were nearby, heard the gunfire and rushed to the scene, near St. Charles Avenue and Terpsichore Street. There, they found the five victims and two handguns.
A woman and three other people identified as males were also among the victims, according to New Orleans police. It wasn't clear what led to the violence.
