Current Events > 9 kids left injured in shooting at birthday party in Louisiana

(+) Yeah! (+)

Nine people under 18 were injured and two of them remained in the hospital Monday following a weekend shooting at a 12-year-old's birthday party in Louisiana that was rooted in an ongoing feud, authorities said.
Eight of the victims of the Saturday night shooting were boys and all were between the ages of 12 and 17, The Times-Picayune/The New Orleans Advocate reported. A 14-year-old boy who was shot in the head and a 16-year-old boy shot in the stomach remained hospitalized in stable condition while the others were treated and released, the St. John the Baptist Parish Sheriff's Office said.
The sheriff's office had previously said six people were injured but updated the number to nine on Monday.
Sheriff Mike Tregre said the investigation has been frustrating as detectives work to make arrests with no help from anyone who was there.
We have not one witness, not one person that saw anything yet. So were trying to solve it on our own right now, Tregre told the newspaper. Im going to be polite its more than frustrating.
The shooting happened around 8:30 p.m. Saturday during a birthday party in LaPlace attended by about 60 young people.
Tregre said two groups of boys with an ongoing feud met at the house and began arguing. Several shots were fired and more than one weapon was used, Tregre said.
The others injured were a 17-year-old boy with a gunshot wound to his arm, a 16-year-old boy with a graze wound to his side, a 15-year-old boy with a graze wound to his ankle, a 15-year-old boy with a gunshot wound to his foot, a 14-year-old boy with a gunshot wound to his leg, a 13-year-old boy with a gunshot wound to his leg, and a 12-year-old girl with gunshot wounds in both legs.
Tregre said his office has received tips but no one has made a formal statement. He said the investigation will continue.
We will not stop. Were going to continue at this, he said. Somebodys gotta come forward. This cannot just go like this.

Seems pretty obvious tbqh

I sure do like living in a country with gun laws. When some c*** gets angry at another c*** at a kid's birthday party, Australians have to resort to harsh language. If a loose prick was carrying a gun, there'd be shit like this all the time.

No one needs that.

Wasn't there a series about an adult who slapped a child at a birthday party?

Ah, turns out it was originally a book, and I didn't even know there was an American adaptation.

I don't think he was making a joke at kids being shot, it's that the root issue in all these things is people having guns, which leads to stuff like this more often than no guns. He's making fun of people that turn a blind eye in order to keep muh gunz

This. The others are just trying to ironically protect their agenda. There's a gun problem in America and we're seeing kids with guns but let's turn a blind eye to that, right? -_-

There's a difference in both statements and its actually the beginning of both your sentences. You were making a guess and that's a clear difference from what the other guy said about me.

Wow... At least the shots were aimed low because most of the injuries were below the waist. Could have been a lot worse if they were aiming high.

Yes, look up "the slap" on YouTube (I won't link it here just because of the seriousness of the topic).

That's actually very common when news stories describe victims who are minors
