    At least five fatally shot after firing on federal contractors

    NEW ORLEANS (AP) -- Police shot and killed at least five people Sunday after gunmen opened fire on a group of contractors traveling across a bridge on their way to make repairs, authorities said.

    Deputy Police Chief W.J. Riley said police shot at eight people carrying guns, killing five or six.

    Fourteen contractors were traveling across the Danziger Bridge under police escort when they came under fire, said John Hall, a spokesman for the Army Corps of Engineers.

    They were on their way to launch barges into Lake Pontchartrain to help plug the breech in the 17th Street Canal, Hall said.
