Almost reaching the point where it's so common as not worth discussing. Sad news though.
As many as 12 people have been shot during a Mother's Day parade in the US city of New Orleans, police say.
Police Supt Ronal Serpas told reporters the victims included a child aged 10 who sustained a minor wound.
Local media, quoting officials, said three of the victims are in a critical condition.
TV station WWL-TV said three suspects were believed to have been involved and were still at large. It is unclear what sparked the shooting.
The station said nine people were taken to the city's University Hospital, of whom eight had gunshot wounds and one was injured while escaping the shooting.
The incident is reported to have happened at about 14:00 (19:00 GMT) on Sunday at the intersection of Frenchmen and Villere streets in the city's 7th Ward.
Supt Serpas said about 200 people were in the area at the time.
