French Quarter bartender felled by stray bullet; Super Sunday, Belle Chasse air show return

By Chad Calder | Staff writer


BARTENDER SLAIN: Sunday morning began with news that someone inside a French Quarter business was killed by a stray bullet fired out on Bourbon Street. Now we know the victim was a bartender working at Cat's Meow, struck in the chest by a bullet fired into the crowd outside that passed through a shutter, killing him where he stood.


SUPER SUNDAY: After two years off, the Mardi Gras Indians are back for Super Sunday. Don't miss our dispatch from the parade, and we've got a photo gallery too.


FLYING HIGH AGAIN: The New Orleans Air Show was back in Belle Chasse after five years off. We caught up with the folks happy to be back for the spectacle.


ENVIRONMENTAL ROUND UP: We've got two dispatches from our environmental team. Mark Schleifstein reports that the state has won a battle over how to offset environmental damage to the River Parishes caused by the construction of the $1.2 billion West Shore Lake Pontchartrain levee.

Meanwhile, Roshaun Higgins reports that Jean Lafitte National Park and Preserve will use $29 million in emergency grants to rebuild three trails at the Barataria preserve that were destroyed by Hurricane Ida, as well as some other needed repairs.


Thanks for starting your week with us. Be sure to check out NOLA.com for more news throughout the day.
