Media coverage of dog shooting in St Bernard parish

Thursday September 29, CNN's Anderson Cooper covered, on NewsNight with Aaron Brown, the story of dogs that rescuers found shot to death, apparently killed by police officers. The dogs had been left on the third floor of Beauregard School Middle in St Bernard Parish, with plenty of food and water, when their human families were forced to evacuate without them.
