Katrina policeman 'stamped on dying, mentally disabled man'

A policeman sprayed gunfire at wounded, unarmed people and repeatedly stamped on a dying man on a bridge after Hurricane Katrina, a former officer told a court.

Michael Hunter, a government witness in a federal trial of five current or former officers, said he was shocked when Sgt Kenneth Bowen leaned over a concrete barrier and fired an assault rifle at several people who had been shot by police on New Orleans' Danziger Bridge less than a week after the 2005 hurricane struck.
