Ten people were shot early Sunday morning on Bourbon Street during a weekend that brought in thousands of tourists and visitors to the city. New Orleans police said 10 people were shot around 1:30 a.m. Sunday near the intersection of Bourbon and Iberville streets. NOPD Superintendent Michael Harrison said that at about 2:50 a.m., a man died from his injuries in the shooting. Two women and 7 men were injured in the incident. The ages of the victims range from 20 to 37. Two men were arrested on gun charges that are unrelated to the shooting . Investigators said the gunmen who opened fire are still at large. One of the arrested individuals was identified as a victim in the shooting. He is being treated for his injuries, police said. The second arrest was an unrelated person, who was found to be in illegal possession of a handgun at the scene, police said. Harrison said more than 40 officers were in the area and some heard the shots when they rang out. "We were notified that shots were fired. Our officers were right there, who heard those shots, responded to those shots -- ran right toward it," Harrison said. Police said the victims were taken to hospitals for treatment. Harrison said that his officers made eight other gun arrests over the Bayou Classic weekend in the French Quarter. "We've made a strong message that this was not the place or the time to bring firearms to this French Quarter for the Bayou Classic event -- or any event. We've made that very clear. We're going to pursue this to the fullest extent of the law, because this was not something that should have happened," Harrison said. "This was the wrong place to bring firearms. We've made that clear, and now we've apprehended a number of people through our proactive efforts for carrying firearms in the French Quarter and we will continue to do that." New Orleans Mayor Mitch Landrieu called the shooting senseless and tragic. "We had a robust presence of police officers. EMS was actually on the scene less than half a block away when the incident happened. We're going to pursue these individuals very, very aggressively," Landrieu said. "Totally unacceptable. The violence continues to spin out of control with people brandishing weapons whenever they think they can. It's really unfortunate."
