Police Kill Five Contractors on La. Bridge
NEW ORLEANS - 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.
