Shots Halt Hurricane Evacuation
http://news.bbc.co.uk/1/hi/world/americas/4205074.stm
Quote:
The evacuation of stranded hurricane victims from New Orleans' Superdome stadium has been suspended after shots were fired at a rescue helicopter.
A spokesman for the Louisiana ambulance service told the BBC the crowd had grown unruly and he was concerned for the safety of his staff.
He said a national guard had been shot, but he had not been seriously injured.
There are widespread reports of looting in the city which is mostly under water. A full evacuation has begun.

For it is certain that Ireland hath had the use of letters very anciently and long before England; that they had letters anciently is nothing doubtful, for the Saxons of England are said to have their letters and learning, and learned men, from the Irish.
