12 shot at Mother's Day second line

A mother's day second line went horribly wrong in New Orleans 7th ward.  Police say as ten police officers escorted the three or four hundred celebrants, at least two people started shooting.

A dozen victims were hurt. The youngest victim is a ten year old child.  

Paramedics say three of the injured suffered critical wounds.

It happened near Frenchmen and North Villere.



Officials say were about 200 people at the event when gunfire erupted.

Nobody has been arrested. It's unclear what sparked the gunfire.


A social club called The Original Big 7 organized Sunday's event.
