Ex-officer planned to kill Black people in mass shooting at a New Orleans festival, authorities say

Authorities in several states did not name the event, but the New Orleans Jazz & Heritage Festival, commonly known as Jazz Fest, runs from Thursday through May 3. The gathering attracted about 460,000 people last year, organizers said.
