Good morning and thanks for starting your week with us. Here are some of today's top headlines. Shootings in St. Roch: At least two people were killed and 10 were wounded in two shootings that broke out 45 minutes apart during an annual second line and parade in the St. Roch area Sunday afternoon, New Orleans police said. Here are the latest details from the scene and here's what organizers said about the tragic series of events. Entergy sale: Entergy New Orleans could sell its gas business to a private equity firm, a move Entergy argues would help utilities operations run more smoothly. But could gas bills rise under the plan? Here's what we know so far. Bitter legal battle: Homeless services providers across Louisiana are in a tense legal dispute with the state auditor's office over private client information — names, social security numbers and substance use records — requested as part of a sweeping performance evaluation. While the auditor says the records are critical to the evaluation, service providers say releasing them would violate federal privacy protections. Sophie Kasakove has the details. Thanks for reading.
