These victim tallies are inconsistent. The lead paragraph says Essex killed 10 and wounded 13 others. At the end of the article, he is said to have "shot" 19 people total. ChrisWinter 15:08, 18 April 2007 (UTC)

[edit] 2 more shooters?

I saw a thing on youtube http://youtube.com/watch?v=uiU0Tc0EIwU that says the same location, hotel in new orleans, and same date, january 73, yet it says there are 3 black snipers, and the name it mentions is robert essex, possibly mark essex's brother. What's the deal with this? Does anyone know if the video is true? —Preceding unsigned comment added by Heatsketch (talk • contribs) 19:15, 10 February 2008 (UTC)

The video is not true and a third sniper was not killed the following day. Mark James Robert Essex was the snipers full name and he is believed to be the only sniper. Some witnesses claim to have seen another gunman who did not fit Essex’s description running through the hotel. Police in the stairwell next to the cubicle Essex was hiding in claim to have heard two different voices on the roof and two different calibers of rifles being fired despite Essex being found with only one. Some reports claim that after Essex was shot and killed police still received gunshots from the roof and returned fire to a shadowy figure on the ledge. Ballistic test of bullets and shells recovered showed that only one weapon was used, the one Essex was carrying. —Preceding unsigned comment added by 74.250.200.63 (talk) 02:12, 27 February 2008 (UTC)
