'Like a war zone': 6 killed, 12 wounded in New Orleans' bloodiest weekend in 10 years

A school bus wended through sun-dappled streets of Algiers and a rooster crowed as several dozen people assembled a block from L.B. Landry High School, some embracing one another, others speaking in low voices on cell phones: “Oh my God. It’s him. Oh my God, oh my God.” Behind yellow crime-scene tape, technicians placed evidence markers by the supine body of Kenneth Faggin, 63, who had been a fixture in the once-quiet neighborhood for about a year before he was shot dead on the sidewalk midday Friday in the 1200 block of Sumner Street.
A resident of the violence-plagued Fischer public housing complex in the 1990s, Faggin was friendly and quick to laugh, according to a longtime friend. She asked not to be identified because she feared retaliation. As she lingered at the scene of Faggin’s slaying, another woman was shot dead two miles away in the 2200 block of Cobblestone Lane, near the troubled Oakmont apartment complex.
Their deaths kicked off New Orleans’ bloodiest weekend in a decade. By sunrise Monday, 18 people would be shot, six fatally. A 14-year-old was among the wounded.
New Orleans police had made no arrests in any of the 15 shooting incidents as of late Monday.

Triple homicide off of Gen De Gaulle

if i had to guess the local media is parroting the white house administration’s attempt to place the blame on ghost guns. Our media in Houston immediately pivoted from a 3 day spree of 5 gun homicides in Texas City to “muh, ghost guns”. Never actually discussing the underlying problems.

I sure hope they take down more statues. That will put an end to all this violence!

“Because of the community’s tight-knit nature, victims and suspects often worship and study alongside one another at church and school, she said.”
Huh?
Huh?

I don’t recall ever hearing the term ghost guns until the last six months, and many times in the last several weeks. It seems like a solution looking for a problem.

Progs learned a new term and will wear the frick out of it.
At least they're over "Historic."

The city just put on Mardi Gras and the final 4. You’ll be fine for the crescent city classic unless you’re running through the east or Algiers.
Your car on the other hand, should be concerned.

The only thing I love about New Orleans is there's no last call. Is that because of black people?
But here's what I hate about New Orleans. I hate rape and murder. I hate a city that has vast swaths of unlivable, gang torn real estate. I hate feeling unsafe almost everywhere I go. I hate how filthy looking the city is. Let's see, what else do I hate?
Oh yeah, I frickin' hate jazz. No one listens to jazz, it's awful. shite arse hip hop and bro-country is better than that shite.
So who gets credit for the one thing I love and who gets the blame for everything else?

Y'all ever notice in these hoods that always have shootings and high crime they are always some type of quiet neighborhood.

Must strive for murder equity. Must be more inclusive for caucs. Need more murder diversity.
