One of the slayings:

t

... Dr. Gailiunas's reluctance was well-founded. Early Thursday morning,
Ms. Hill -- who was born in the United States but took Canadian citizenship
-- was shot in the neck and killed in the entrance of their modest home on
the edge of the French Quarter.

Dr. Gailiunas was hit four times in the cheek and arm but was released
 from hospital yesterday. Their two-year-old son, Francis, was unhurt. He
was reportedly found in the entrance of his house, protected by his injured father.

In a city that has become accustomed to tragedy and to an endless strings
of crime -- there have been a dozen homicides in the past two weeks -- this
latest outrage was just too much.
