New Orleans PD shot contractors - not thugs - on bridge

Mod Update
The Associated Press
Police shot and killed at least five people Sunday after gunmen opened fire on a group of contractors traveling across a bridge on their way to make repairs, authorities said.
Deputy Police Chief W.J. Riley said police shot at eight people carrying guns, killing five or six.
Fourteen contractors were traveling across the Danziger Bridge under police escort when they came under fire, said John Hall, a spokesman for the Army Corps of Engineers.
They were on their way to launch barges into Lake Pontchartrain to help plug the breech in the 17th Street Canal, Hall said.
None of the contractors was killed, Hall said.
The bridge spans a canal connecting Lake Pontchartrain and the Mississippi River.
No other details were immediately available.

Clarification - FoxNews reporting contractors NOT KILLED after all. Instead, the guys who were shooting at the contractors were shot by NO police.
Boy, what a turnaround in events. Let's all calm down until all the facts are in.

Get everybody out and blow the river levees. It's the only way to be sure.That city has some real bad ju ju. There's some kind of voodoo whammy hovering over the place and it should definably not be rebuilt. Only the port should.
