NEW ORLEANS (AP) — An Irish police officer on vacation in New Orleans was shot by an armed robber, one of the latest victims in a string of shootings that have put the city on edge as it gets ready to kick off Carnival festivities. "The city is not safe," said Tamara Jackson, the executive director of Silence Is Violence, a community group that works with the families of shooting victims. Besides hosting the fundraiser, Murphy planned to send the wounded garda shepherd's pie and an Irish breakfast, including sunny-side up eggs, bacon, Irish sausage, black and white puddings, baked beans, roasted mushrooms, potato hash and toast. Since the start of this year, police reports show that 11 people have been killed in homicides. The police department, working with federal and state agencies, has been targeting neighborhood gangs and attributed the drop in homicides to that effort. A rash of robberies, several of them violent, in the French Quarter since November prompted the police force to ramp up patrols in the historic tourist areas.
