Mandina's restaurant on Canal St. reopened for lunch today. The 90-year-old eatery was closed all weekend as police look for suspects and clues in a vicious murder.
Friday night, two men opened fire outside the restaurant. Witnesses described it as automatic weapons fire.
One employee was riddled with bullets and died. A patron inside was injured.
