At least nine children were wounded in a shooting on Saturday, at a birthday party in Louisiana after a verbal duel between two groups of young boys, the police have said. Two out of nine are still in hospital on Monday while the rest were treated and released.

The birthday party of a 12-year old at Golfview Drive in LaPlace, Louisiana was taking place in a garage when neighbours heard gunshots around 8:30 p.m. on Saturday. The authorities have said that more than one weapon was used.


Eight of the nine victims were all boys between the ages of 12 to 17. The two, aged 14 and 16, still undergoing treatment at a hospital were shot in the head and stomach respectively. Doctors have said that they are in stable condition, St. John the Baptist Parish Sheriff’s Office confirmed.

Sounds like a good place to live. Looks to be gang related for sure.

The street itself doesn't look bad though on Google Maps street view Google Maps

The dems kill children many times younger than that every day and in higher numbers.

Yeah, only do many more of these and the gun bans will be coming for sure.

Looks like a HOA or gated community that's part of the country club?

None dead? Was it like, a .22lr or something?

At least 60 people were present at the birthday party of a 12-year old. The sheriff’s office had initially said that six were injured in the shooting but updated the number to nine on Monday. Police have said that the investigation so far has been “frustrating” and that no arrests have been made yet. Sheriff Mike Tregre said: “We have not one witness, not one person that saw anything yet. So we’re trying to solve it on our own right now.”

ain't nobody saw nuffin'.

It's almost as if they don't want to hold anyone accountable. Imagine that.

You know. They just buy it and the guns from Amazon. No questions asked. Jack.

Only sketchy thing visible to the casual eye
is a parked Free Candy van 10 solid years ago.

Otherwise, we should be so lucky as to have such neat lawns, etc.

LaPlace is hit and miss. High end homes and well, not so high end homes. It's pretty much an 'island' in the middle of a swamp. The 'gang' stuff starts early, mid teens isn't off the charts. I put gang in quotes because it's more street gang than actual organized national gang. Most national gangs want nothing to do with New Orleans.

Most national gangs want nothing to do with New Orleans.

Why is that? Latino gangs are racist and won't accept black youts?

Nah, not even the crips or bloods want part of that place.
