5 killed in latest New Orleans shootings

New Orleans is becoming very hot, it seems that this city has some difficulties to recover from the hit of Katrina.

Three brothers aged from 16 to 21 and their friend (39) were killed in a neighborhood near the French Quarter.

Another person was killed in a different incident just after the first shooting.

The shootings were the latest round of killings as the city struggles to rein in drug- and gang-related violence that has shadowed the recovery from Hurricane Katrina.

"The spotlight Katrina put on the city showed the real reason for these murders — abject poverty and a poor education system," he said. "We have to go from looking at this as a strict law enforcement situation and take a more holistic approach."

In mid-June, Gov. Kathleen Blanco sent the Louisiana National Guard and state police to New Orleans to help fight crime there after five teenagers were shot to death in a single attack.

Remember that back in the past, New Orleans had a reputation to be a Murder place.

So more than never, you should be careful. People who live in New Orleans must be alert, and look what is surrounding them.
