NEW ORLEANS- New Orleans police hope surveillance video posted on YouTube will help them find two men wanted for a Bourbon Street shooting that injured two other men.

First, there's a fuzzy front view of a man in a white sleeveless shirt and one in a black shirt. The one in white apparently hands a draped piece of cloth or clothing to the other.

A five-second back view is sharper: a man in black shoots while one in white crouches with his right arm extended. A lamppost hides the second man's right hand from the camera.

Police say it happened about 11 p.m. Friday on the 100 block of Bourbon Street. Bullets hit a 51-year-old's left forearm and grazed a 19-year-old's abdomen.
