Here's another version of that story saying that the "gunmen" shot by the police on the Danziger Bridge were in fact army contractors:
It is revealed that among the armed people killed by police on a bridge in New Orleans, were US constructors working for the army.
US Army Engineers Spokesman John Hall has declared those people killed by police were constructors, who were headed towards a channel restoration. He stated that the constructors were killed while on their way to Pontrchartrain River to repair the15th Street Channel.
New Orleans Police Chief Deputy W. J. Riley in a former statement said that the police opened fire against eight armed people on Danziger Bridge, located between Pontchtrain and Mississippi river, and five or six of them were killed as a result of the attack.
This time the report is from a Turkish paper. It sound as if the US media hasn't caught up with this development yet (even to correct out if it turns out to be wrong. But it sounds very much like the kind of thing that does happen.
