What really happened at the Superdome and Convention center?

Obviously, it wasn't good, but it wasn't nearly as bad as most of the media made out. How many bodies were found in these locations? Initial reports said there might be 200. The actual figure? 20 Only one appears to have been murdered. Not to say that one murder is ok. It's not. The point is that the news organizations were broadcasting rumors.

Here's one news story about all this. There are others out there.

Various other crimes seem to have been over-reported too.

I wonder if the sniper stories will turn out to be similarly exaggerated?
