In a particularly tragic spate of violence on Tuesday, four separate shootings left 4 people dead and others wounded. A 5-year old girl and a 33-year old woman were killed near a child's birthday party in Central City. Witnesses stated that the killers were shooting at unidentified individuals who ran toward the party. 3 others were wounded. A man was fatally shot in the head near Toulouse and Gayoso streets. A 19-year old man was shot in the neck in eastern New Orleans. Sources did not establish his condition. Finally, a man was shot in the stomach in the 4300 block of Carrolton Ave. This string of violence serves as a stark reminder that no matter how far the city has come since Hurricane Katrina, much remains amiss in the areas of crime and violence throughout the city.
