Here’s what the washington post had to say about it!

BAGHDAD, July 12 — U.S. soldiers in eastern Baghdad clashed with Shiite militiamen on Thursday, leaving at least 11 Iraqis dead and an unknown number injured, including two children hit by shrapnel from a U.S. helicopter attack, according to American soldiers who took part in the mission.

During the fighting, an Apache helicopter fired bursts of 30mm rounds toward several people who had been directing machine-gun fire and rocket-propelled grenades at U.S. soldiers. The helicopter also fired on a silver Toyota minivan in the area as several people approached the vehicle, soldiers said.

Soldiers found at least six other bodies, all of adult men, on the ground near the children. Four were in a sitting position and two were face down on the ground, soldiers said. A camera believed to belong to the Reuters photographer lay nearby. It was unclear whether the journalists had been killed by U.S. fire or by shooting from the Iraqis targeted by the Apache.

The Apache crew fired because militants “were endangering the stability of Iraq” and because they had positive identification that the militants “had weapons and were using them against coalition and Iraqi security forces,” said Maj. Brent Cummings, the battalion’s executive officer. “No innocent civilians were killed on our part deliberately. We took great pains to prevent that. I know that two children were hurt, and we did everything we could to help them. I don’t know how the children were hurt.”

Seriously, FUCK the media.
