thousands of screaming spectators
on the edge of the French Quarter

• Drum major Ray Johnson, 17,
was shot in the neck and spectator
John Barker, 20, of Plaquemine,
La., was hit in the groin. Both
were in stable condition at Charity
Hospital.
Another bystander, Gary Bart
ley, 20, of New Orleans, suffered
powder bums on his eye.
After interviewing more than
30 witnesses police still were un
certain how the shooting started,
Joly said, and the investigation
was not closed.
Johnson said it started with a
scuffle between the officer and a
chaperon who was helping to clear
crowds from the St. Augustine
High School band of New
Orleans.
“Then the shot went off and I
felt the pain,” he said. “There
won’t be any more performing at
Mardi Gras for me.”
A hospital spokesman said doc
tors decided to leave the bullet in
Bartley because it was lodged too
close to a main artery in his groin,
making surgery dangerous.
Bartley, a sophomore at
Nicholls State University in Thi-
bodaux, La., said he heard a shot
then felt the pain.
“I thought I might be dying,”
he said. “Did you ever see Jack
Nicklaus tee-off? I felt like I was
three feet in front of him. ”
Last week, another high school
marching band was involved in a
fight with spectators who smashed
their instruments. Five persons
were arrested in that incident, and
bands began surrounding them
selves with chaperones to help
separate the members from the
surging crowds.
The parading will continue
through Tuesday, Mardi Gras,
when downtown and suburban
streets become jammed with
more than a million “maskers”
drinking, partying and dancing in
the streets in the final celebration
before the austere period of Lent.

Wearing green ribbons in the
shape of an upside-down “V” —
which has become the symbol of
sympathy to the investigation —
the marchers spread out silently
along the parade route in single
file to “demonstrate how the chil
dren have been murdered, one by
one,” said the Rev. David Smith,
ACSL national president.
The group’s leaders said the
march was “a prelude” to a nation
al rally March 15, which they said
includes a “walk-a-thon” at
Georgetown and Boston College.
In Newark, N.J., a city council
man, Michael Bottone, has laun

friends, colleagues and all others
to wear the green ribbons.
The Atlanta Braves are putting
