WXRT in Chi said USA saw victims shooting at rescuers on TV!?

[FullCountNotRecount]

I don't own a TV. Is there video of this, really? I never believed this. My own intuition was...

1. People trying to get attention of rescuers, not shooting at them.

2. Law enforcement shooting in air to warn victims to stay out of their towns (Gretna Bridge incident where the sheriff's deputies blocked access to dry land from victims).

3. People protecting their property from looters with shots in the air.

4. People shooting at alligators and other wild animals. The German newspaper Stern got into NO with a boat and has picture of an alligator that was shot to death inside a home. (Stern.de)

Gen. Honore said this wasn't true, didn't he? The few interviews I've seen by Coast guard personnel didn't confirm this.

"Contractors" repairing the levee reported being shot at but this was an anonymous report (Plus it may have been a Halliburton contractor, so you can trust the source).

I don't think it was widespread. Jesse Jackson said, it's the military, just put on your flak jacket and rescue.

I want to make sure the video is there before I confront the radio station.

Edit: I think the impression I got was they were shooting at helicopters. This is different than looters fighting with law enforcement.

1. If they have video, then they are the only ones!

No one else has anything but rumors,
and "unconfirmed reports",
AKA Irresponsible FEARMONGERING.

3. Saw something like that on Rita Cosby's show this week.

She's been spending time with the head of the FBI team in there that has been taking out "targets of opportunity" (his words).:wow:

6. I heard a black woman who survived

mention in her interview that yes, she knew some people were shooting up to helicopters but they wanted to be sure that the helicopters saw them. They weren't shooting at the helicopters they were shooting up into the air hoping that they would hear the gunfire and look down to see them. At least this one group did.
