New Orleans Mayor, Police Chief Face Press After 18 People Shot in 24 Hours
New Orleans Mayor Mitch Landrieu and his Chief of Police faced the public Friday after 18 people were shot in a 24-hour period, including a police officer.  New Orleans finished 2011 with 199 murders, and has already seen 47 people shot in 2012, with 12 killed, a new record for a city that continues to struggle with violence.  The new wave of crime comes on the heals of a very successful period in which the city hosted over 250,000 visitors for sporting events.  Read more about how the Mayor plans to fight "for the heart and soul of New Orleans" at the link below.
