I saw the NO deputy police chief in a live press conference stating that 2 people were killed by police and 4 others wounded

Police killed two people Sunday on the Danziger Bridge over the Industrial Canal, he said.

The incident began when a rescue worker heard gunshots and called police. When the responding unit saw six people on the bridge with guns, they called in a task force unit, which confronted the group, according to Riley.

"The subjects fired on the task force, which returned fire," he said, killing two on the scene and wounding two others. The other two fled and the task force pursued, wounding one and capturing the other.

All three of the wounded were hospitalized, Riley said.

HERE IS AN ARTICLE WITH THE FULL STORY

Yes, Kinky, that story is one of the few which appear to be confirmable, and I mentioned it in an earlier post in this thread.

But, it's not a _confirmed_ story. It's not a confirmed fatality. A confirmed fatality would include the names of the dead and wounded, where they were from, and ideally what weapons they were using and where the weapons came from.

If other looters are being shot, the police presumably have to bring the bodies back to some central spot for identification and storage. Leaving shot dead bodies around the city, and not reporting the killings, would be very strange.

If "gangs of armed men" are being arrested, they have to be being kept somewhere. If a cop has been shot, surely that has to have been entered into some official log somewhere.

If this is happening, sooner or later hard lists of names, places, dates will be released. Pictures of dead men. Pictures of bullet holes.
