New Orleans police kill looters in shoot-out
By Mark Egan Sun Sep 4, 9:26 PM ET

NEW ORLEANS (Reuters) - New Orleans police killed four looters who had
opened fire on them on Sunday as rescue teams scoured homes and toxic
waters flooding streets to find survivors and recover thousands of
bloated corpses.

A fifth looter was in critical condition but no more details were
available about the incident in a city where authorities are slowly
regaining control after a wave of looting, murders and rapes in the wake
of Hurricane Katrina.

"Five men who were looting exchanged gunfire with police. The officers
engaged the looters when they were fired upon," said New Orleans
superintendent of police, Steven Nichols.

U.S. Army Corps of Engineers contractors working on a levee breach were
fired on by gunmen but no one was hurt, said the Corps' Mike Rogers. It
was not clear if the two incidents were connected.
