11 shot in New Orleans French Quarter following Bayou Bowl football game

[Washington Examiner] Narly a dozen people were shot in New Orleans early Sunday morning in the bustling French Quarter, according to police.

The shooting took place around 3:30 a.m. hours after the conclusion of the Bayou Bowl, a football game between Grambling State and Southern University that was played at the Mercedes-Benz Superdome.

Authorities originally believed only 10 were injured in the shooting but adjusted the count to 11 after an additional victim brought themselves to the hospital. Two of the victims were reported to have critical injuries.

No arrests have been made for the shooting, but authorities do have one person of interest in custody. It is unclear how many gunmen participated in the shooting or what motivated the violence. New Orleans Police Superintendent Shaun Ferguson said authorities were quick to get to the scene because of the increased security at the stadium.

This is the second mass shooting to take place on the weekend of the Bayou Bowl in recent years. A fight between two men in 2016 ended in gunfire that injured nine and killed one.

This gets posted here regularly, but I cannot find a meaning for it. What is it supposed to mean?

Lex coined it. A play on the fracas made by shithole lovers over Trump's assertion that their countries are just that.

#8 I'm shocked. After Southern and Grambling,
Drum majors and quarterbacks scrambling?
Post Bayou ~~Bowl~~ Classic?
Why, this is fantastic!
What next? Busting Rick's place for gambling?

And speaking of weeping at the state of journalism (among other things)...
