Were rescuers being fired at

Or is that an urban myth? And can someone provide me a link.

2. Got no link, but heard on the news that

Coast Guard helo pilots heard gunfire, but did not feel they were being fired at. Felt like people were trying to get their attention.

3. Still looking for more answers

I found this:

Carl Quintanilla, a reporter live in New Orleans, spoke on the Today Show about the overblown reports that the New Orleans area is "a riot zone."

"This is not a death trap, these people are not criminals, they need help and all of their frustrations are centered around that."

Quintanilla also remarked that his news crews went outside the city to where ambulances and buses with relief are staged doing nothing. "I'm not going in there," Quintanilla reports one relief workers as saying, "I've told my wife I'm not going in there."

But I need this to refute some racist rightwing rhetoric.
