Killings will not succeed when hurricane could not

Mardi Gras a tradition gunfire cannot kill

NEW ORLEANS (Hollywood Today) 2/24/09- – Mardi Gras, the one New Orleans tradition that even a hurricane can’t kill, was almost stopped today by a heinous crime. Police say an infant and four other people have been injured in a shooting along a Mardi Gras parade route.

Even a devastating hurricane never stopped Mardi Gras, in a town that believes in hope, prayers to a dozen religions, but it almost happened today. The town has always been crime-ridden, but kept it’s keel during Mardi Gras.

Shortly before the Louisiana’s Republican  Governor spoke out about how great New Orleans was in his rebuttal to President Obama’s address to the joint houses, New Orleans police spokesman Bob Young says the latest storm were the shootings reported near the Garden District about 1:40 p.m. after the last major parade of the celebration had ended. Truck floats that follow the Rex parade were going by when gunfire broke out.
Two suspects are in custody and three weapons believed used in the shooting have been recovered, according to AP.
