Meanwhile, others haven't been as lucky.
Maitri at Vatulblog:
Entering my car at 6pm, I hear seven shots. One of them hits metal, another is sucked up by what sounds like flesh. Half a block away, a man on his bicycle has been “taken out in a revenge killing.” I drive by the dead body, not seeing it for the fading evening light. Four squad cars rush to the scene, but it’s too late, the hitmen are long gone. Where are the other five bullets lodged? In the outer walls of people’s homes, one of which contains a good friend.
Little Eye from Metaphysic Storm:
Around three o’clock there was a rat tat tat and screeching sirens that followed. The cemetery attendant came rushing in said, “Did you hear that? I’ve lived here my whole life and I’ve never seen anything like that. A guy pulled out an AK47 and some bodies dead! Right around the corner. Some body is dead. You’ve got to leave.” ... As I drove away the ambulance from the crime scene pulled in front of me and we second lined.
Keith Spera from Nola.com:
Baby asleep, dinner plates put away, the evening reverie of Jan. 5 is shattered by a half-dozen sharp reports, tightly clustered at irregular intervals.
Through the open kitchen window, the gunshots sound as close as the neighbor's yard. We later learn they originated three blocks away at North Dupre and St. Ann streets. Bullets struck and killed 47-year-old Kirk Dugar Sr.
