The New Orleans Police Department said that five people were shot in Central City on Monday afternoon. Police said that the shooting occurred shortly after 1 p.m. on the corner of LaSalle Street and Martin Luther King Jr. Boulevard.
The shooting occured near where the annual Martin Luther King Jr. Day parade had passed some 30 minutes earlier. The shooting did not appear to be related to the parade, authorities said.
Police Superintendent Ronal Serpas was among those who responded to the scene. He told WDSU that a group of six teenage boys or young men was gathered outside a small grocery when a late model white sedan — possibly a Nissan or Pontiac — drove past. Shots were fired from inside that vehicle.
The car sped off in the direction of the Mississippi River.
None of the injuries were considered life threatening and the police say the crime was caught on surveillance video.
