6 N.O. Cops Reassigned Amid Probe

NEW ORLEANS (AP) — Six members of the New Orleans Police Department, including several high-ranking supervisors, have been reassigned while the department investigates their roles in a federal probe of a deadly shooting after Hurricane Katrina.

The department announced Thursday that four captains, a lieutenant and an officer have been placed on administrative reassignment, limiting them to desk duties.

The list of reassigned officers includes Capt. David Kirsch, commander of the district where 31-year-old Henry Glover was fatally shot by an officer before another officer burned his body on Sept. 2, 2005.

Capt. Jeff Winn, who led the department's SWAT team after Katrina, also was reassigned. Winn supervised two officers who were charged with burning Glover's body in a car.
