Add ToI as a Preferred Source on GoogleNew Orleans police said at least 10 people, and probably more, were wounded Sunday in an apparent shootout at a park in New Orleans’ 9th Ward.
Police spokesman Tyler Gamble said police were on their way to break up a big crowd when gunfire erupted at Bunny Friend Park.
He said ambulances took 10 people to hospitals, and police were told that others were taken by private vehicles.
Gamble said investigators don’t know how serious the wounds are, or what started the shooting.
He said there were two groups at the park — people who had walked there in a neighborhood parade and people watching or participating in a video.
Gamble said the video was being made without a permit to use the park.
