[0:02] Hurricane 2005 in the path of Katrina.
[0:05] Tomorrow at 9:00 on CBS 4.
[0:08] And good evening from New Orleans. Hopes
[0:10] that the stricken city had turned a
[0:11] corner were shattered this evening with
[0:13] word that local police have been
[0:15] involved in what appears to be a tragic
[0:17] case of mistaken identity. A group of
[0:20] Army Corps engineers was shot at, some
[0:22] of them apparently killed after police

[1:10] flooding.
[1:14] We'll have more on those stories in just
[1:16] a moment, but first we go to Mika
[1:17] Brzezinski in New York for the latest on
[1:20] the death of Chief Justice William
[1:21] Rehnquist. Mika?
[1:23] John, thank you. Chief Justice Rehnquist

[1:29] thyroid cancer and just weeks shy of his
[1:31] 81st birthday. CBS News correspondent
