Gunfire erupted on New Orleans' famed Bourbon Street early on Sunday, wounding seven people, including one critically, police said. The victims were transported to nearby hospitals, authorities said.
The shooting happened around 2:45 a.m. local time in front of two famous New Orleans' haunts, the bar Pat O'Brien's and jazz venue Preservation Hall, according to the Times-Picayune newspaper.
It was unclear what led to the shooting or whether police had a suspect.
Bourbon Street runs through the heart of New Orleans' oldest neighborhood, the French Quarter, a prime tourist destination packed with bars, restaurants, clubs and souvenir shops.
