NEW ORLEANS — Seven.

That's how many bullets were fired through a bedroom window in the back of a home about 11 p.m. Sunday in the 2100 block of North Rocheblave Street in the 7th Ward.

When all was said and done, an 18-year-old woman inside the bedroom was dead. A 61-year-old man was injured.

"I'm just lost for words. I'm just lost for words. I just - I can't believe this,” said Joycelyn Allen. “I'm thinking she's on the porch or in the backyard or whatever. You do this? This like a hit."

Allen was among those who stopped by the home on Monday. She knew the victim through a relative. The news was shocking enough. What she saw made it worse.

“This was like, really like, a hit to me,” she said.

This isn't the first time violence has hit close to Allen.

Her niece, 5-year-old Brianna Allen, was shot and killed in Central City when a stray bullet hit her during a family birthday party.

I think this is the third or fourth time a shooting/murder happened on this street in the past few weeks.

This happens when you take fathers out of the equation as far as being a parent and replace them with the state.

Nobody teaches right from wrong and delivers any consequences for wrongdoing. We are fricked as a society and it will only continue because we vote for the same type of leader ad nauseum.

those evil guns need to stop killing people.. I am gonna go into my gun room and have a talk with my guns and tell them to stop this shite.

Right? We need to do something don't we?

Maybe we should draw attention to a problem that we have. If there was only a way that we could draw attention to crime in America... Only some way...
Maybe if there was a way to show support for those that enforce our laws.

I'm sure it was a hit. No telling if she was the intended target though.

I'm also sure someone in that house was involved in the Nola criminal underworld. Play stupid games and all.

Like a lot of U.S. cities, whole sections of New Orleans aren't any safer than Mogadishu.

Must be some of that new glass. My glass breaks. Actually, never in my 55 years of life seen glass rip.
