At least 10 people are dead and at least 35 are injured after a pickup truck plowed through a crowd in New Orleans' French Quarter early New Year’s Day.
The truck drove into a crowd around 3 a.m. Wednesday on Canal and Bourbon Streets.
Authorities say Shamsud Din Jabbar, 42, drove a truck through barricades intentionally at high speed into a crowd.
After crashing into heavy machinery, Jabbar got out of the vehicle and began shooting responding police officers, injuring two, who are listed in stable condition.
Jabbar was killed in the gunfire.
The attack came toward the end of New Year’s celebrations in New Orleans and hours before the kickoff of the Sugar Bowl game between Notre Dame and the University of Georgia, with thousands expected to be in attendance.
Despite the day being marked by a mass casualty event, Kirkpatrick said that the city wants locals and visitors to “go about the day” and continue to “enjoy New Orleans.”
