A shooter opened fire on a crowd in a popular tourist area of New Orleans.

The Bourbon Street shooting took place early in the morning on Sunday.

Bourbon Street, located in the French Quarter of the city, is well-known for its late night parties. It is home to several strip clubs and dozens of bars.

This is the second shooting this month to take place in the iconic New Orleans district.
