According to the police, a shooting occurred on Sunday night near the intersection of St. Charles Avenue and Terpsichore Street along the route of a parade that was taking place in advance of Mardi Gras. As a result, many people were forced to flee and the event had to be called off, according to Karen A. Boudrie, a spokeswoman for the New Orleans Police Department.

 

It was reported during the Krewe of Bacchus Procession, which had begun in the afternoon, at around 9:30 p.m. According to Chief Deputy Superintendent Hans Ganthier of the police department, one person was detained at the scene, however their identity had not yet been made public as of late Sunday night. The police reported that they had discovered two guns and were looking into the possibility of multiple shooters.

 

Officers were soon able to detain the guy they believed responsible for the shooting, NOPD Chief Deputy Superintendent Hans Ganthier told CBS New Orleans affiliate WWL-TV, and two firearms were found.

Ganthier stated that this is certainly not what they wanted to see. They wanted “to be a safe” occasion. According to reports, the march was briefly stopped but was later allowed to proceed. A witness reportedly said that there were at least a dozen gunshots, and everyone was scrambling to get out of the way, leaving everything they owned behind.

The parade is held annually on the Sunday prior to Fat Tuesday. There are 1,500 members in the “krewe,” or social organization, and thirty-three extravagant floats are used in the parade.
