Gun Violence and Public Events

At a Mardi Gras parade in East Feliciana Parish, Louisiana, a shooting wounded five people, including a 6‑year‑old child, and sheriff’s officials say all victims are expected to survive. Two suspects, ages 19 and 15, were arrested and charged with attempted murder, obstruction of justice and reckless discharge of a firearm, while a 26‑year‑old detained faces an illegal‑possession charge but is not believed to have fired shots; investigators say more arrests are possible as they seek additional video and photo evidence.
