Celestine is the only suspect out of the three named Sunday morning not in police custody. Johnson is already in police custody after being arrested Nov. 24 for Illegal Possession of a Stolen Firearm. He will be rebooked with the additional charges. NOPD detectives located and arrested Copelin last night. He has been booked for 17 counts of Attempted First Degree Murder.

If it were one shooter at a school, movie theatre, mall, etc., it would be all over the news all over the country.

JMO

I think that the public puts gang shootings into a different category than 'mall' shootings or school shootings or terrorist attacks. They all have the same horrible results, for sure.

But the public seems to feel that gang shootings do not have the same threats to them if they steer clear of gang ruled areas. So it does not get the same news coverage, imo.
