Gunmen opened fire on a Mother's Day neighborhood parade in New Orleans, wounding at least 19, including two children, police said.
FBI spokeswoman Mary Beth Romig called it "street violence" and said federal investigators have no indication that the shooting was an act of terrorism.
The southern city has one of the highest violent crime rates in the U.S. The shootings took place less than two miles (3 kilometers) from the heart of the French Quarter.
Police said many of the victims were grazed, and most of the wounds were not life-threatening.
A news release said the wounded included two 10-year-olds. It also said two people were in surgery.
Police saw three suspects running from the scene. No arrests had been made as of late afternoon.
As many as 400 people joined what is known as a second-line parade, a loose procession in which people dance down the street, often following a brass band. They can be impromptu or planned.
