Shots fired: As if things aren't bad enough already on the highways, two women riding in a vehicle somewhere along the Pontchartrain Expressway allegedly unleashed a barrage of gunfire out the window. Police say someone made a video and posted it on social media, complete with emojis (Of course.) Anyway, police have suspects and are looking for them now. Some background: Shooting on the highways has been a serious problem in New Orleans. People are dying. Saints. Need. A. Win. It’s a quick turnaround for the Saints this week: they play a rare Thursday night game in Phoenix against the Cardinals. Our football team needs a win in the worst way, so park yourself in front of a TV tonight and yell loud. One mystery? As of late Wednesday the Saints still weren't saying who will start at QB.

Nagin's paychecks: Former New Orleans Mayor Ray Nagin’s various pensions are kicking in, and the feds say he can afford much bigger restitution payments. But Nagin, who did a stint in prison after being convicted of taking bribes as mayor, says he’s living “paycheck to paycheck,” Matt Sledge reports. Auditorium plan? A plan is in the works to breathe new life into the beleaguered Municipal Auditorium, shuttered since Hurricane Katrina in 2005. It’ll be fueled with millions in FEMA money the city received in 2018.
