Five People Hurt in Mardi Gras Parade Shooting, Two Suspects in Custody

According to updates sourced via local news outlets, the 6-year-old victim was shot in the leg and is recovering from surgery. Another victim also underwent surgery for their wounds, and is expected to be paralyzed from the neck down. The extent of the other victims' injuries remains unclear.

No motive has been released, and the sheriff’s office said additional arrests are expected. Authorities are asking anyone with photos or video from the incident or surrounding area to submit them to investigators.

Investigators said the two charged teens were among three individuals detained near the parade Saturday after being found in possession of firearms. A third person, a 26-year-old man, has been charged with illegal firearm possession, but authorities said they do not believe he took part in the shooting.
