BATON ROUGE, La. -- Authorities said two suspects have been arrested for attempting to loot a supply truck loaded with food and water planned for Hurricane Gustav victims.

Governor Bobby Jindal says three suspects fired on National Guard soldiers in Ville Platte early Wednesday morning.

Jindal says two suspects were arrested by local police Wednesday night.

Jindal says the soldiers shot at the attempted looters after they were fired upon. The three people trying to get to the supplies fled the site without getting to the 18-wheeler. A National Guard spokesman says there were no reports of injuries.
