Da Mayor and Trombone Shorty made a surprise appearance at a Warren Easton High School pep rally this afternoon to drop off 200 professional-level trumpets and trombones for the school. At about 2:45 p.m., while school brass were reading the current honor roll, Landrieu and Shorty entered the school's gym fronting a brass band.

Shortly before 10 p.m. Friday, NOPD says Ballard fired into a crowd at the corner of Iberville and N. Gayoso. Ballard was targeting someone in the crowd with whom he has an ongoing feud, police said.
