UPDATED: 8:55 am EDT September 1, 2005
A medical official says the evacuation of the Superdome in New Orleans has stopped because of shots fired at military helicopters.
"We have suspended operations until they gain control of the Superdome," said Richard Zeuschlag, head of Acadian Ambulance, which was handling the evacuation of sick and injured people from the Superdome.
He said that military would not fly out of the Superdome either because of the gunfire and that the National Guard told him that it was sending 100 military police officers to gain control.
