'Speechless' CNN host stunned by New Orleans attack witness stopped from helping victims

Raw Story  

A witness to the horrific attack on New Year's Eve revelers in the early hours on New Orleans' Bourbon St. told an admittedly "speechless" Pamela Brown on CNN he and others were prevented from helping victims by police. Cothran then described the carnage he witnessed, including bodies being thrown into the air, as the stunned CNN host blurted " I'm speechless." "I mean, just the disfigurement and the bodies strewn –– something you can't unsee, you'll never forget," he told the host. "I'm certified in CPR and first responder training and they wouldn't let us help, they locked us all inside, which is understandable, but nobody else was helping, so that was even tougher."
