Bourbon Street has been known worldwide as New Orleans' most famous street. Along its strip is the perfect mix of jazz joints, strip clubs, bars and restaurants, providing every visitor with everything from fine dining to sex shows.
The street was built on higher ground than most of the city and was spared from the devastation of Hurricane Katrina in 2005.
Bourbon Street New Orleans shooting on Sunday is already the third shooting incident on Bourbon Street from three years ago. The last shooting occurred last February on the Saturday before Mardi Gras. Because of the incident, four people were injured. The one before that was Halloween in 2011, where another person also got killed while seven others were injured.
