Here are the top three stories today in New Orleans:
- After a bit of uncertainty surrounding whether the New Orleans' Pride parade will take place this year due to clean-up costs, it has been confirmed the parade will roll with a shortened route. The parade will turn onto St. Louis Street instead of Canal Street but still end up on Bourbon Street. (WDSU New Orleans)
- Two 13-year-old boys face charges of attempted armed robbery, aggravated assault, illegal possession of a firearm, aggravated criminal damage to property, criminal damage to property and illegal use of a weapon after being arrested on June 2 by NOPD for an armed robbery and assault that took place on Paul Morphy St.(Mid-City Messenger)
- Monday night saw three overnight shootings that left one dead and three wounded. The first victim, which marks the 125th homicide in New Orleans this year, was found around 2:30 in the morning in Marigny after NOPD responded to gunshots in the area. The second shooting occurred on I-10 when a suspect fired into a vehicle and struck one man who was able to drive to a hospital. The third shooting occurred on Aviators Street where a man and woman were shot but NOPD has not released any further details other than they were able to get to a hospital for treatment.
