19 hurt in Mother's Day shooting in US Gunmen opened fire on dozens of people marching in a Mother's Day neighbourhood parade in New Orleans, wounding at least 19, including two children. FBI spokeswoman Mary Beth Romig said federal investigators have no indication that Sunday's shooting was an act of terrorism. "It's strictly an act of street violence in New Orleans," she said. The southern city has one of the highest violent crime rates in the US. Police say many of the victims were grazed, and most of the wounds were not life-threatening. A news release said the wounded included two 10-year-olds. It also said two people were in surgery. Police saw three suspects running from the scene. As many as 400 people joined what is known as a second-line parade, a loose procession in which people dance down the street, often following a brass band. They can be impromptu or planned. As of last year, the neighbourhood's population was about 60 per cent of its level before Hurricane Katrina devastated New Orleans in 2005. We have good resources in this neighbourhood," Serpas said.
