There are a few LSTs in the WWII museum, which is in the New Orleans CBD! It would be ironic if they were underwater due to being trapped in the museum.

(CBD is what they call downtown, the Central Business District. "Downtown" is a direction, not a place.)

Shot police officer in surgery

The New Orleans police officer shot in the head by a looter Tuesday was expected to survive, officials said.

The officer, who has not been identified, was in surgery at West Jefferson Medical Center after being shot in the forehead, police said.

The officer was shot by a looter
after he and another officer confronted a number of looters at a Chevron store at Shirley and Gen. DeGaulle.

Jefferson Parish sheriff's deputies on the scene arrested four people in connection with the shooting. One of the looters reportedly was shot in the arm by an officer during a shootout.
