Corps: Contractors Killed in New Orleans

NEW ORLEANS (AP) -- Police shot eight people carrying guns on a New Orleans bridge Sunday, killing five or six, a deputy chief said. A spokesman for the Army Corps of Engineers said the victims were contractors on their way to repair a canal.

The contractors were walking across a bridge on their way to launch barges into Lake Pontchartrain to fix the 17th Street Canal, said John Hall, a spokesman for the Corps.

Earlier Sunday, New Orleans Deputy Police Chief W.J. Riley said police shot at eight people, killing five or six.

The shootings took place on the Danziger Bridge, which spans a canal connecting Lake Pontchartrain and the Mississippi River.

No other details were immediately available.

I guess we can commend the police on their accuracy if nothing else.

Somebody got trigger happy....

Somehow I doubt the NO cops were fired on first, or that this group looked like a bunch of looting thugs.

Kudos on the communications and coordination efforts there, gentlemen!

OK, New story... The bad guys that shot at the contractors were killed by police not the contractors.

it's being reported differently now.

Supossedly guys shot dead, were shooting at contractors. Contractors OK. Bad guys doing the shooting, killed by NOPD.
