NEW ORLEANS -- Revelry turned into horror during New Orleans Halloween celebrations when gunfire erupted at four scenes leaving 15 people shot, two of whom died.

The first incident occurred just after midnight in the 400 block of Bourbon Street near the iconic Chris Owens nightclub when police believe two men began firing at one another, striking a total of eight people during the exchange.

As horrified people began running for cover, others in the massive crowd, oblivious to what was going on, surged to try to continue their party.

"We were all upstairs having a good time," said Rob Ratcher of North Carolina. "It sounded like firecrackers."

I spent 3 different Halloweens in NOLA during my late teen years around 20+ years ago.  Always felt safe (even surrounded by total freaks).

You couldn't pay me to go there now.

Mad because they didn't get their free government pumpkin.

...and the great pumpkin didn't come again this year....it's Obama's fault.

“The American people will never knowingly adopt socialism. But, under the name of ‘liberalism’, they will adopt every fragment of the socialist program, until one day America will be a socialist nation, without knowing how it happened.” - Norman Thomas, U.S. Socialist Party presidential candidate 1940, 1944 and 1948

"America is like a healthy body and its resistance is threefold: its patriotism, its morality, and its spiritual life. If we can undermine these three areas, America will collapse from within."  Stalin
