At Least 10 People Shot Near New Orleans' French Quarter

"Saturday was the 46th annual Bayou Classic, which attracts fans of Grambling State University and Southern University football to watch the game at the Mercedes-Benz Superdome and celebrate in New Orleans' French Quarter. "We do not know how it started," New Orleans Police Superintendent Shaun Ferguson told reporters at the scene early Sunday morning. Ferguson said officers were "right there" on the same block as the shooting when they heard it begin.

Ferguson said police had detained an individual but had not determined whether that individual had any involvement in the shooting. According to New Orleans police, the Louisiana State Police and federal officers are involved in assisting with an investigation. No arrests have been made, and no further information has been released about the identities of the victims." https://www.npr.org/2019/12/01/783969596/at-least-11-people-shot-in-new-orleans-french-quarter

This represents pain in a few ways, but mostly because one person has caused a larger social issue. The shooter, who was most likely in pain, decided that shooting a gun is the only way to relieve his or her pain. However, this person's pain has caused much more pain for the surrounding city and the people and families involved. Violence is a common answer to personal pain, but causes more destruction to society.
