"There were upwards of 500 people probably in this playground when this erupted," New Orleans Superintendent Michael Harrison said at a press conference. "It was an unpermitted, unplanned thing, so we did not know about it."
Police quickly arrived at Bunny Friend playground in the Upper Ninth Ward, because they were nearby for the Nine Times Second Line parade, Harrison added.
Mayor Mitch Landrieu said the Second Line parade was about two blocks from the shooting scene and was peaceful.
The first shots were fired around 6:15 p.m. local time. Witnesses told CBS-affiliate WWL that there were at least 2 shooters.
At least 10 of the victims were taken to the University Medical Center by EMS, WWL reported. Another 6 arrived at the hospital by private vehicle.
Police said they are not sure how serious the injuries are at this time.
