Man shot to death in New Orleans


1) A man was fatally shot Sunday in Gentilly, becoming the seventh person slain in four days in New Orleans. As Michael Allen, 32, was getting out of a vehicle in the 4700 block of Miles Drive Sunday shortly before 1 p.m., a man approached and opened fire.

Seven bodies in four days. Reminds us of that time last year when we had 13 shot in 12 days. That sure was a summer to remember.
