Police in New Orleans say one person was killed and nine were injured following a shooting in the city's French Quarter early Sunday morning.

Eight men and two women, aged from 20 to 37-years-old, were shot near the intersection of Bourbon Street and Iberville Street just before 1:30 a.m.

One of the men has since died in hospital from his injuries.

"We do not have the information about what precipitated the shooting right now," New Orleans Police Department Superintendent Michael Harrison said in a press conference at the scene.
