NEW ORLEANS — Five people were wounded in a shooting in New Orleans on Monday afternoon, police said.
Police Superintendent Ronal Serpas said the shots were fired from a car at a group of teenagers standing outside a grocery story, according to NOLA.com.
Serpas said none of the injuries appeared to be life threatening.
Authorities said the shooting did not appear to be related to the Martin Luther King Jr. parade, which passed by about 30 minutes earlier as residents participated in the 27th annual march to King's statue on Martin Luther King Jr. Boulevard, NOLA.com reported.
"It's the state of affairs in our nation that young men do not heed the words of Martin Luther King Jr.," Serpas told NOLA.com.
