Mardi Gras 2009 Shootings

The shootings happened in the Garden District about 1:40 p.m. after the last major parade of the celebration, Rex, had ended. A stream of truck floats that follow the parade were passing by when gunfire broke out.

Police spokesman Bob Young said the victims — three men ages 50, 33 and 20, two young women ages 20 and 17 and a 15-year-old boy — were taken to area hospitals. The conditions of all the victims were not immediately available, but Mr. Young said the 20-month-old baby was grazed by a bullet and not seriously hurt.

Two men, 19-year-old Mark Brooks and 18-year-old Louis Lazone, both of New Orleans, were each booked with seven counts of attempted first-degree murder. Mr. Brooks also faces a charge of possession of a firearm by a convicted felon, Mr. Young said.
