"Grandmaster Jay" invited up a young speaker with a (I believe) 100-round banana clip in his AK-style rifle. The speaker goes by the name "Sleep Is For The Rich" (or "Sleep").

Just as the group began their march from Lafayette Public Library to Parc Sans Souci, two shots rang out at the Parc.
One was arrested and charged with reckless discharge of a firearm at a parade or demonstration, and felon in possession of a firearm.https://t.co/An78luHzxS

This is what it looked like on my end when shots rang out.
A handful of NFAC members declared "there's action up ahead," and rushed forward.
NFAC leader "Grandmaster Jay" told his group to "stand the fuck down" and later made his folks pull back until it was clear. pic.twitter.com/VcI4qJofEP

At Parc Sans Souci, "Grandmaster Jay" led a rally. During his speech, he addressed Trump's "Make America Great Again" slogan and went through every American era describing how "It ain't never been great for Black people in this country." pic.twitter.com/Y1VgnaWILs
