NEW ORLEANS There are reports from New Orleans of shots being fired at cellphone workers on towers trying to restore service.
Authorities have been going door to door at nearby apartment buildings, sometimes forcing doors open in their search for potential snipers.

Some pawn shops in the area are federally licensed gun dealers that were looted in the wake of Hurricane Katrina.

The operation includes dozens of New Orleans police, state police, A-T-F and other law enforcement members. Most are wearing flak jackets.

No shots have been heard during this morning's operation and no one has been pulled out of any apartments.
