CLINTON —- Several law enforcement agencies are responding to a shooting that unfolded during the Mardi Gras parade in East Feliciana Parish on Saturday afternoon.

Law enforcement tells UWK it happened around 12:20 p.m. on Saturday, Jan. 31 in Clinton.

Credible sources say up to six people may have been injured in the shooting, including a child. Airmed is responding to the scene as well.

At this time, it’s unclear the condition of all of the people injured or what led up to the shooting.

It was three-fifths of a person.

This is why I only go to Mardi Gras in New Orleans. If I’m going to get shot at a parade it’s going to be a damn good parade.

Not sure what is more traumatizing... the story content or the byline photo.

Sometimes Nola can make it a whole Mardi Gras season without a parade route shooting. This little dump of a city can’t control themselves for their one parade?

Dear God,

Please reveal yourself to Earth in bold and no uncertain terms to speak clearly to and remind humanity that life is short, precious and not to be taken for granted anymore.

Evidently, that sending Your son thing, when, where and how, did not quite get it done.

Signed,
Concerned Earth Resident

Funny thing is, this isn't the first time. Apparently there was a shooting in Clinton after the parade back in 2023.

The only surprising part is that it happened at the beginning of the parade and not at the after party.

At least in New Roads they don’t start shooting until the parade is over.

We were told “try that in a small town” and we were told the country was safer than urban cities.
