US Sen. John Kennedy called on those in the federal government to catch those responsible for the deaths resulting from a driver ramming into a crowd in New Orleans.
The suspect behind the New Year's Day attack on Bourbon Street in New Orleans, which killed at least 15 people and injured 30, has been identified as Shamsud Din Jabbar, 42. Law enforcement sources claim Jabbar intentionally rammed a pickup truck into a crowd of revelers around 3:15 a.m. on Jan. 1. The truck eventually stopped, and Jabbar opened fire on responding police officers, injuring two before being killed in a shootout with law enforcement.
The FBI is investigating whether improvised explosive devices (IEDs) found in the truck were viable and linked to the attack. Authorities are treating the incident as an act of terrorism, and sources are working to uncover more about Jabbar's background and possible connections to extremist groups. At this time, it is unclear whether he was acting alone or as part of a larger plot.
The attack occurred in the French Quarter, one of New Orleans' busiest areas, during the city's New Year's Eve celebrations. The event was just hours before the Sugar Bowl, drawing crowds from all over. Law enforcement continues to investigate the circumstances surrounding the incident, with additional security measures likely to follow in the wake of the attack.
New Orleans Mayor LaToya Cantrell has released initial information on the attack that killed 10 people early on New Year’s Day. “We do know that the city of New Orleans was impacted by a terrorist attack,” Cantrell said, noting the incident is still under investigation.
At least 10 people were killed and 30 injured when a driver hit a crowd during New Year’s celebrations on Bourbon Street in New Orleans, in what the mayor has described as a “terrorist attack.”
• Louisiana Governor Jeff Landry has called the deadly incident a “horrific act of violence” and asked for prayers for victims and first responders.
• The incident in the popular French Quarter happened just hours before the city is expected to host The Sugar Bowl, an annual college football game that draws fans from all over the country, with the University of Georgia taking on Notre Dame.
