New Orleans shootings: 2 dead, 12 wounded

Ten people were shot and wounded early Sunday near the French Quarter in New Orleans, a popular spot for tourists. The victims are being treated at local hospitals. Two of the victims are in critical condition, the New Orleans Police Department. Hours later in another part of town, another shooting killed two men and wounded two others. There were so many people in the area that the officers were not able to determine who fired the shots. and there is no arrest yet.

  • Overall, your summary is brief. Be sure to comment more frequently as well.

  • If I were on vacation in New Orleans where this happened, I would try to run away to a safe spot or hide and call the cops so they could try to help. It would be unlikely for there to be another shooting, so I might go back for another vacation but it might be a while later when I feel safer going. 

  •  I would first of all because shooting can happen anywhere at anytime and I sure the odds of 2 shootings in the same area both when I was on vacation there is highly unlikely.  I would also go back because it would be unlikly that there would be another shooting. 

  • If there was a shooting when I was on vacation then I would of course just leave the area of the shooting and go somewhere else a few blocks away. I would stay there because if I'm paying money to go on vacation then I'm going for the whole time and for the whole experience.

  • I would go back to my hotel room, and talk to the people I was staying with. I would talk about whether we should go back home or stay on our vacation. I wouldn't go back on vacation to that place because I wouldn't feel comfortable, and there are plenty of other vacation spots in the world.

  • If I was on vacation and the shooting was in a very close area where we were staying I would pack my things up and head right back home. I think that I would go back after maby a few years or so depending on how bad the crime rate there is. 

  •  If I was in New Orleans during the shooting I would probably try and get to shelter or covered by something, but then I would call the police as fast as I could. I think I more then likely would still go to New Orleans on vacation a few years after the shooting occured. I think you just have to be aware of your surrounding at all times. 

  • If I was in New Orleans during the shooting I would defiently try to find cover and hide, but I would also want to help the hurt people or help people get away. I probably would not return to New Orleans for vaction not for a long time.

  • If there was shooting in the place I'm vacationing  I would find a safe place as quick as I can. I would probably not go back to the same place because it would remind me of what happened before and I would not feel comfortable being there.

  • If such situation happens i would try to find a safe place and protect myself. There is a chance that i fight back to the one attacs me, because that would be very good and in this case the person attacks can not harm others but there is a chance that i can get hurt myself. Absolutly, if i went to Italy or French  and it happns  i will go back, because everything what happened in the past left in the past.
