<div><span style="color: var(--color-text);">Two shootings less than two miles apart in New Orleans have left two people dead and 12 more injured on a holiday weekend day full of bloodshed and grief. </span></div>
</div>
<div>The two shooting incidents on Thanksgiving Day weekend are not believed to be connected.<br />
The first shooting occurred in the early hours on Sunday after a gunman opened fire in Canal Street in the French Quarter.<br />
The mayhem came on the first day of December,with businesses inside the tape demarcated crime zone were already decorated for the holidays. Coincidentally the scene of the carnage was also not too far from another disaster site, the collapsed Hard Rock Hotel’s hanging crane was in clear view, along with Christmas wreaths lining Canal street.<br />
Pictures of the event showed signs of the grim weekend, with the scene and areas around it littered with food wrappers, beer cans and overflowing trash cans.</div>

An employee at the CVS rushed to control the chaos that erupted after the shooting.<br />
&#8216;I heard three rounds, and people started running,&#8217; the unnamed employee said. </span></div>
