The victims included two children who were grazed by bullets. Police say most injuries are not life-threatening. ? It is unclear what sparked the shooting in the citys 7th Ward on Sunday afternoon. Police say three suspects were seen fleeing the area. ? The incident happened at about 14:00 (19:00 GMT) at the intersection（十字路口） of Frenchmen and Villere streets. ? Shots were fired with different guns, a police statement said. ? Immediately after the shooting our officers saw three suspects running from the scene. ? The statement said 10 men, seven women, a 10-year-old boy and a 10-year-old girl were wounded by gunfire. ? The shooting happened at what is known as a second-line parade - an impromptu（即席的） community procession in which people dance down the street behind the official parade. ? About 200 people were in the area at the time. ? It appears that these two or three people, just for a reason unknown to us, started shooting at, towards, or in the crowd, Police Supt Ronal Serpas told reporters earlier. ? It was over in just a couple of seconds. ? The BBCs Jane Little in Washington says New Orleans has a high rate of gun crime. ? The area where the shooting happened is a poor neighbourhood that is still recovering from the devastation left by Hurricane Katrina in 2005, she adds.
