No suspects were in custody and it was not clear what motivated the shooter or shooters. Police are looking for three people in connection with the attack.
"Shots just started ringing out and everyone started running," one eyewitness told WDSU's Rachel Wulff. "Next thing I hear, 10, 15 people got shot."
The incident happened shortly shortly after 1 p.m. in the 7th Ward. Investigators believe more than one person fired the shots.
"Maybe two different types of weapons," Serpas said. "Immediately after the shots were fired, our officers saw three people running away on Frenchmen toward Claiborne."
Serpas said one of the shooters appeared to be a dark-skinned man, 18-22 years old, with short hair and wearing a white shirt and blue jean shorts.
"Obviously, these are unusual circumstances," Serpas said. "We have second lines that occur in the City of New Orleans virtually every weekend this time of the year. We had a full complement of police officers (on detail).
"It appears that these two or three people just for a reason unknown to us started shooting at towards or in the crowd. It was over in just a matter of seconds. Police were everywhere."
