More New Orleans cops charged in bridge shootings

2 died in post-Katrina event

Sgt. Bowen, Sgt. Gisevius, Mr. Faulcon and Officer Villavaso also are accused of shooting at an unarmed family on the east side of the bridge, killing 17-year-old James Brissette and wounding four others.

All six officers are charged with participating in a cover-up. In court filings, police are accused of fabricating nonexistent witnesses, plotting to plant a gun to make it seem as if the shootings were justified and kicking spent shell casings off the bridge weeks after the shootings.
