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.
