Gustav: National Guard Exchange Gunfire with Looters.
Just FYI - This is why it is good to be prepared in a disaster. If looters are willing to fire on the National Guard, what makes anyone think that they'll play nice with mere residents/civilians?
BATON ROUGE -- Three National Guard troops exchanged gunfire with unidentified assailants last night while protecting hurricane-relief supply trucks in Ville Platte, Gov. Bobby Jindal said this morning.
No injuries were reported in the incident, which occurred between midnight and 1 a.m. in an area dark from loss of power.
The soldiers were guarding FEMA supply trucks that were in a staging area awaiting deployment to a goods distribution site, Louisiana National Guard spokesman Mike Kazmierzak said. Guard members normally accompany FEMA logistics operations, he said.
