Ironically, this happened, what, 1.5 blocks from the police station:
Police said the shooting took place at 5:08 a.m. in the 700 block of Conti Street, between Bourbon and Royal streets. But the dispute appeared to have originated on the other side of Bourbon Street, in or near the 800 block of Conti around the Last Call Bar and Grill.
Five in the morning is early for extended police protection. Night shift is winding down, day shift comes in within an hour or so. Maybe we need regs that say the all-night places need to have private details.
