Hostage Situation in New Orleans
Just a heads up, armed looters have taken over one of the medical centers in New Orleans where the injured people were being sent. They are holding the entire staff of the hospital hostage and firing at the national guard. An FBI SWAT team has just been flown in (from Baton Rouge I believe) and they are just now getting situated. I'm not sure of any online scanners that are up monitoring the state trs. That is where alot of traffic is going on at.
I will keep you guys updated on here if you want. Just let me know.

Unrelated to this, but national guard aviation at the operations center said state police and coast guard are coordinating rescue(not this hostage event) operations on 123.0AM.
Also, LSP Troop B just said that the hostage situation at tulane is code 4. The swat team is being picked up from tulane now and brought back to the convention center.
Another note, in the wake of this disaster, troop A is now known as Troop B. They have combined until this is over.

SRT 6 is reporting that he needs 5 packs extracted, mission complete.
I've also heard talks that the airport is now operational and C137's are landing.

LSP Troop B is requesting immediate backup. Troopers, riot squad, and national guard. He said the crowd is triple the size it was earlier and they are about to be overrun.
The location is 610 and eleshafield(spelling?).
Should I make another thread that has events going on down there? Lots of stuff has gone on and half of it never makes it on the news or anything.
UPDATE: The SWAT team that was handling the hostage situation is going to be dropped off to assist with the growing crowd.
I'm going to pick up an audio cable in a few hours and set up a live stream tonight.

I was thinking of doing icecast. Isn't there a way with icecast to do live text tags? I know how to set up the servers themselves, im just not sure how to do the live text tags. I'm using a bc246t.

LSP Troop B is searching for an Entergy van that broke through one of the checkpoints. They are searching I-55 now.
