A 10-year-old boy and a 10-year-old girl were among 19 people shot and wounded at a Mother's Day parade in New Orleans on Sunday, police said.Most of the victims were grazed, including the children, but three people were reported in serious condition. Both children were in good condition.
The FBI attributed the incident to "street violence," not terrorism.

Seriously, WTF? This is really saddening to hear that people are being shot on a day when its supposed to be about celebrating mothers.
"Just a very tragic day for us again in New Orleans, especially on Mother’s Day," Mayor Mitch Landrieu told reporters Sunday evening. “We have mothers that were shot, sisters that were shot, little children that were shot."
