MIAMI: A shoot-out in the historic French Quarter of New Orleans killed one and injured nine, police said on Sunday.

Around 30 officers rushed to the scene when shots were heard around 1:30 am (0630 GMT), city police superintendent Michael Harrison told reporters.

A man died of gunshot wounds, while two women and seven men were injured. Two men were arrested in connection to the shooting, but Harrison said a motive was not yet known.

Thousands of outsiders poured into the French Quarter this weekend as New Orleans hosts the Bayou Classic, an annual American football game between two rival Louisiana state universities.
