My neighbor has a friend who lives 200 miles away from New Orleans.
The friend gathered some other friends to go down to help. They brought their boat, and went around to rescue people.
They encountered around 60 dead people, all people trapped in their attics, in the mandatory evacuation areas, who had chosen to stay despite the evacuation order.
They rescued quite a few people.
However, when they went to one area to rescue some people, the people near the house they were at shot at them.
The people who were near the rescue area were pizzed that it took so long for rescuers to come to rescue them. When they saw their neighbors getting rescued first, they went nuts, and took their guns and shot at the rescuers.
The friend's party were injured. One of the people got shot in the arm, and had to leave the area. After that incident, the friend said "to hell with this" and left the area.
