Feds investigate New Orleans police orders to 'shoot looters' after Katrina

And as local residents and officials commemorate the fifth anniversary of Katrina, federal investigators are looking into police conduct in those first few days after the levees broke. Investigators are now responding to allegations that New Orleans police commanders gave orders to shoot looters. The latest action is spurred by new details that came to light last week from an investigation by the Times-Picayune, ProPublica and PBS Frontline. The report draws on current and past police officers in New Orleans who describe a confusing atmosphere. During that period 11 civilians were shot by police.

For more on the investigation, we're joined by AC Thompson, staff reporter with ProPublica and PBS Frontline correspondent.
