Officers indicted over post-Katrina deaths
A deadly gunfight on a bridge in the anarchy-filled days following Hurricane Katrina became a symbol of New Orleans’ loss of control. Now, more than a year later, seven police officers face charges in the shootings.
A grand jury indicted the officers on murder or attempted murder charges yesterday in the September 4, 2005, deaths of two men and the wounding of four other people on the Danziger Bridge.
