Fox news reporting from AP unconfirmed that the six men crossinhg the bridge where army engineer contractors.

Note to admin moderator story is different from armed men shot.

AP is saying those shot on the bridge were contractors!!! FNC just announced

not exactly. Right now there are two different reports. NO police say they shot armed men on a bridge. Corp of Engineers say some of their contractors were shot on a bridge. Sounds likely to be the same incident, but we don't know that yet.

from online WSJ

Sunday, Sept. 4

6:00 p.m.: A spokesman for the Army Corps of Engineers says that some of its contractors were killed Sunday by police as they walked across a bridge on their way to repair a canal, the Associated Press reported. It wasn't immediately clear if these are the same men the police earlier said they shot.

If the New Orleans mayor and police chief had their way, there would be no survivors and therefore no witnesses.

So I guess the whole "Yay, we're opening up a can of whup-ass" thing wasn't such a good idea after all?

This is out of hand...

Apparently some contractors were shot by some police in NOLA.

NO ONE knows what color any of em are.

They were not looters.

Gulp, 'friendly fire' the networks are claiming.
