You don't see this very often.

NEW IBERIA, La. — Two mothers are mourning the loss of their two teenage boys after a shooting last night. Now, local leaders are working towards figuring out a solution to gun violence.

Police says the two young men were arguing on the 700 block of Rosalie Street in New Iberia before they shot and killed each other instantly

quote:

Local leaders, like City Councilwoman Deedy Johnson-Reid, says that one of the problems in New Iberia is the lack of programs for its youth.

“There’s not enough for the kids of New Iberia to do," said Johnson-Reid. "We’ve got to figure out the way to put some programs out here, so our kids have something else to do… another way to kind of handle their anger, teach them some discipline, so we don’t have this gun violence that’s happening way too often in the city.”

She also says she believes that parents should receive more training on how to keep children and teens out of trouble.

Of course. It was the lack of midnight basketball and because they didn’t have the newest console that they shot each other in the street.

Or you could have not failed them as parents.


Chances both of these kids come from single mother homes?

I grew up in a trailer park next to a corn field. We didn't have internet, cable TV, social media or midnight basketball. We somehow managed not to shoot each other out of boredom.

Hasn’t New Iberia been around for like 100 years? With all of those 100 years filled with kids that had the same lack of programs but somehow made it to adulthood mostly normal and without shooting each other?

What is it about small town politicians named / nicknamed Deedy who don’t have two brain cells?
