Three people were killed in nine shootings in the city of New Orleans, Louisiana, USA.
Due to the city's record spike in homicides and violent crime, as well as staffing problems in the police force, citizens have declared New Orleans the "Homicide Capital" of the United States.
With 3 people killed in 9 shootings in a single day, the city broke the 1990s record for most shootings.
That year, 277 people were killed in various incidents in New Orleans, the highest number of homicides in a single year since 1996.
Citizens expressed concern about the city's recent rising crime tide and disqualified the city's mayor.
Citizens say the mayor's failure to maintain order and halt the rising tide of killings and the rise in crime have underscored her incompetence.
Michelle Woodfork, the city's new interim police chief, said she is working to change the police department's traditional culture to address the city's growing crime problem.
She said I want to say to the citizens that I live here and I'm one of you, so I'm concerned about your lifestyle and safety.
