Two people are killed and 11 others are hurt in a pair of shootings during a second line parade yesterday afternoon in the St. Roch (ROCK) area of New Orleans.

Cut 3 (07) “…from one another.” 

Police Commissioner Anne Kirkpatrick says the Nine Times Social Aid and Pleasure Club second line parade was allowed to continue after the first shooting since no one in the initial shooting was killed. The two people who were killed were both shot in the second wave of violence. It’s unclear at this time whether the two shootings are connected.

Four people are killed in a mobile home fire in Sulphur, in southwest Louisiana. Assistant Fire Chief Chris Vice says the four victims were all members of the same family.

Cut 10 (08) “…thirty-something years old.”

Vice says investigators have narrowed the possible causes down to three – an electrical issue, a faulty dryer or discarded smoking materials.

It could be a stormy night tonight for much of Louisiana. Sean Richardson has more.

Cut 2 (32) “…I’m Sean Richardson.”
