WWL-TV: Shooting on bridge story changes again ( ** for 3rd time!!! ** )

the WWL-TV anchor changed the story three times...latest update is that some contracters WERE killed...anchor speculates that Army Corps of Engineers and NOPD are giving out CONTRADICTING info...

they said they will not give any updates again untill they can ABSOLUTELY confirm who's been killed.

Shouldn't this be easy to figure out?

Original story: 8 armed people shot at bridge by NOPD, 5 to 6 killed.
UPDATE 1: armed people were from the Army Corps of Engineers
UPDATE 2: armed people were gunmen shooting at Army Corps of Engineers
UPDATE 3: some from the Army Corps of Engineers WERE killed

who knows whats going :wtf:

:wtf: What is the REAL story?

For a moment I had a disconnect.

I thought he was standing in Fallujah and was telling us just another story about how the Marines shot some insurgents, oops mistakently some civilians or Reuters guys.

:scared: The war is now in my backyard.

Unfortunately of course, it's not. Likely someone was killed although who and the specific circumstances still aren't clear.

NOPD in turn shoots and kills several of the gunmen.

I am really afraid now that they have brought the war back home.

The lies will get thicker and more convoluted, and truth will be almost impossible to find

:(

... since no one seems to be able to figure out just who these "armed men" who may have gotten "shot on sight" are.
