WIS News 10 - Columbia, South Carolina | New Orleans officer shot by looter, expected to recover
Member Center:
(New Orleans-AP) Aug. 31, 2005 - What police presence there is in New Orleans and Biloxi, Mississippi, isn't slowing down looters.
A police spokesman in New Orleans says a police officer was shot in the head by a looter, but he's expected to recover.
Dozens of looters on historic Canal Street have ripped open steel gates to stores. Some filled plastic garbage cans to carry or float stolen goods.
In Biloxi, looters picked through slot machines of damaged casinos to see if they still have coins inside. One motel owner says people are just "filling up garbage bags and walking off like they're Santa Claus."
