Read our privacy policy New Orleans police arrested a man suspected in one of the mass shootings that broke out within one hour of each other during a large parade on Nov. 17, authorities said Wednesday. The suspect and another person were arguing before the two began shooting at each other, injuring nine bystanders and Harris, according to a statement from the New Orleans Police Department. Earlier this month, police arrested another man accused of gunning down an aspiring photographer and his uncle at the same parade about 45 minutes after the first shooting. The parade, put on by the Nine Times Social Aid & Pleasure Club, was part of the beloved New Orleans tradition of “second-lines” in which crowds follow brass bands through the streets.
