White Linen Night

Out on Julia street, a photographer wearing a wet handkerchief around his neck and a fisherman's vest is shooting pictures of the well-dressed gallerinas. One man asks if the photographer if he will be seeing himself in the news.
"No," says the photographer, "We had a couple of kids shoot themselves over at the projects today, so it'll probably get bumped."

Sorry, man in suit, we got this to follow:

A 12-year-old New Orleans boy was accidentally shot to death Saturday afternoon, the New Orleans Police Department reported. A 13-year-old has been arrested in the case, said Officer Garry Flot, police spokesman.
