We pray for them as well. We pray that those thoughts and those type of actions don’t enter into the minds of others and cause other families to go though what were doing right now.>

Gov. Bobby Jindal signed a governor’s warrant to extradite Bourbon Street shooting suspect Trung Le. He’s been jailed in Mississippi since his arrest earlier this month.

A second shooter remains on the loose.
