NEW ORLEANS (AP) — Police shot and killed some gunmen who had fired upon a group of contractors traveling across a city bridge on Sunday on their way to make repairs.

New Orleans Deputy Police Chief W.J. Riley said police shot at eight people, killing five or six.

John Hall, a spokesman for the Army Corps of Engineers, said there were 14 contractors on their way to repair a canal. They were traveling across a bridge under police escort when they were fired upon.

They were on their way to launch barges into Lake Pontchartrain to fix the 17th Street Canal, Hall said.

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.

I am not in favor of people being wrongfully killed, but I am in favor of the authorities going in there and kicking ass on the people that are scum.
