Third NOPD officer charged in Danziger Bridge police shooting

Federal prosecutors filed a bill of information this afternoon charging a third New Orleans Police officer in the fatal police shooting on the Danziger Bridge in the days after Hurricane Katrina.

Officer Michael Hunter Jr., 33, of Slidell, is charged in federal court with one count of conspiring to obstruct justice and one count of misprision of a felony, or concealing knowledge of a federal crime.

An NOPD report says Hunter drove officers to the bridge in a rental truck and fired three shots during the incident.

The bill of information filed Tuesday specifically alleges that Hunter participated in a conspiracy to craft false and misleading statements about the police shooting, which killed two civilians and injured four others.

It also alleges that Hunter took part with other officers in a previously disclosed secret meeting in a gutted police station to talk about their plans and make sure their concocted stories rang true.
