[0:01] and Maple Langano, the owners of the

[0:02] nursing home, were being charged with 34

[0:05] counts of negligent homicide in that

[0:06] case.

[0:08] You presume that they drowned. Drowned.

[0:11] Is that good enough for you? They

[0:13] drowned. They did not die of natural

[0:15] causes. They drowned. 32 people, 34

[0:19] people drowned

[0:21] in a nursing home where they should have

[0:24] been evacuated.

[0:26] >> That of course was Louisiana Attorney

[0:28] General. And here in Louisiana, it has

[0:30] just been a devastating night of news

[0:32] for folks who had heard about the story

[0:34] initially about 7 or 8 days ago.

[0:36] Initially, uh rescue teams, we believe

[0:38] from California were the ones who

[0:58] put this nursing home underwater. They

[1:00] ignored that warning. Then officials in

[1:03] St. Bernard's Parish actually offered

[1:05] the owners of this nursing home a bus to

[1:07] evacuate the 34 residents, the elderly

[1:09] who could not get out. That offer was

[1:12] turned down. And today, as you just

[1:14] heard, the Louisiana Attorney General

[1:16] said that all the people who were found

[1:17] there drowned. There is one report

[1:20] tonight, one report that before the

[1:22] owners left the nursing home, they

[1:24] actually took some of these elderly,

[1:25] they put them in
