New Orleans police shot eight armed gunmen from the Danziger Bridge,  after contractors crossing the bridge came under fire. The police claim they have shot at eight people carrying guns on the bridge. This comes as Mayor Robin Nagin begins to abandon the city and turn it over to state and federal control. The fourteen contractors were en route to launch barges into Lake Pontchartrain to help fix the break in the 17th Street Canal when, according to police, the gunmen opened fire on the group. The Danziger Bridge spans a canal which connects Lake Pontchartrain and  Mississippi River.
