Per AP on the FOX News Channel
NEW ORLEANS - Police shot eight people carrying guns on a New Orleans bridge Sunday, killing five or six of them, a deputy chief said.
Deputy Police Chief W.J. Riley said the shootings took place on the Danziger Bridge, which connects Lake Pontchartrain and the Mississippi River.
He said he had no other details.
Just being armed wouldn't justify slaughter like this unless these guys went commando on the cops.
The police killing six people in one incident is HUGE.
i doubt the folks in new orleans have any news at all.
Good. Get rid of the jackasses, one at a time.
I am waiting. Others here aren't, already applauding.
NOPD said they knew who was doing what, they got intel from people leaving the city....
now that the conv center and dome are cleared, they will go out and shoot the vermin. these people have killed all week long with impunity.
of course, CNN has been praising the NOPD all morning, and Blanco issued the shoot to kill orders.....
"Stormtroopers" ?
and by the way, I don't care what color they are or were..white, black, blue, green..if they were firin at the cops, they deserved what they got..
Same old jumping to conclusions error of many Freepers.My hunch is that this MIGHT be a "freindly fire"incident.
And,sure,the gunmen might BE black.But I'm waiting on ID's and pics of perps.
A former Clinton intern?
This smells. However, if these men on the bridge fired first at the police, I'm OK with that. But something is not right here, I think..
It appears to be the least common denominator raping and killing in NO and posting here on FR. They are losers the both of them. Ignore the losers here. This site used to be really nice but it has gone downhill since 2000
In my case, I'm conscious of what I know the media, Democrats, Jesse and Al will do if white policemen shot and killed black men. "turning everything into a race issue" is impossible. the left has already done that.
It's unfortunate that it had to come to this but sometimes extreme measures are called for when people are acting like animals. They brought it on themselves.
Yes carrying the rifle in one hand and the holy, holy, holy, Koran in the other.
Then we can forget about Renquist and the disaster and cover the real important stories
Koran abuse, Cindy, GITMO
Damn straight! Our forces are going into a war zone now.
uh, they missed the other two?
Furthermore, they were only trying to do an innocent carjacking to drive to Moveon.org's "homes of refuge" in Madison, WI.
"They're trying to survive!"
Have they been showing that bridge on TV? Had any of the media been in shots standing where this took place??
I guess what I am asking is....do you think they would have video of the site, based on what we've seen of NO so far?
