How to die in New Orleans

Just out of the French Quarter, I was walking around exploring the colourful residential housing of New Orleans and wandered past this church. The notice board out the front immediately grabbed my attention, a list of 2014 murders, the names of the deceased, age and method of murder. While it didn't explicitly state these were all members of this particular church, I assumed this was for the whole city of New Orleans.


What immediately struck me was your chances of being shot were by far the most likely way to die, I am told New Orleans is the murder capital of America - I don't doubt it.
