HOUSTON, Tex. (INTELLIHUB) — A spokesman with the Louisiana Cajun Navy says that several of his boats were attacked while trying to help residents who are in danger.

“We’ve had boats being shot at,” a spokesman for the group said during a telephone interview with a local news station. “We had to pull out for a bit.”

“We’re dropping an air boat right now to go rescue a couple of our boats that broke […] they were under attack,” he said.

The man said that people have even tried to steal his boat.
