Can Someone Help Me Find This In Print???
i heard today on cnn or msnbc that there was a catholic nursing home run by nuns where 14 bodies were found (in new orleans or in louisiana).

they mentioned the other nursing home that the attorney general is charging the owners with negligent homicide and said the people who ran this one were nuns and that the deaths are under investigation.

the reporter said that the home didn't flood but they were low on water and had no electricity. the nuns stayed and did all they could to save these people. when the people died the nuns were evacuated. the nun who ran the home is in texas and wouldn't talk to reporters because she was trying to keep her phone line cleared because she is trying to get in contact with all the family members.

i'm googling catholic "nursing home" nun and can't find anything current. i'm trying to find it on cnn or msnbc and can't.

can someone help? (please?)

1. I think you are looking for this:
state investigation was under way Wednesday at Lafon nursing home in New Orleans, where at least 14 patients died as they awaited rescue, officials said. The attorney general of Louisiana filed negligent homicide charges Tuesday against the operators of another nursing home, St. Rita's in St. Bernard Parish, where 34 residents drowned. (Watch the attorney general explain the charges -- 4:23)
