3 dead, 7 wounded after gunmen in New Orleans fire on crowd

Two gunmen opened fire on a crowd gathered Saturday outside a strip mall, killing three people and wounding seven others, the police chief said.

Police Chief Michael Harrison, speaking to reporters late Saturday in televised comments, said the two suspects believed to be wearing hoodies had a rifle and a handgun. He said they appeared to have fired indiscriminately into the crowd.

“We believe that they actually stood over one of the individuals and fired multiple rounds and then after that fled,” he said.
