Less than 48 hours before the Saints go marching from the city’s convention center to the Superdome, three people were shot in the historic French Quarter during the post Super Bowl celebration.

Police say the victims, a man and two women, are all local residents. Their names were not released.

The shooting occurred at approximately 12 a.m. Monday at the intersection of Iberville and Bourbon Streets.
