At least 15 people were killed and 30 injured when a driver rammed a pickup truck into a crowd during New Year’s celebrations on Bourbon Street in New Orleans early on Wednesday morning. The FBI is investigating it as an act of terrorism.
The FBI has identified the suspect as a 42-year-old Texas man and Army veteran. Law enforcement sources say the suspect, who was killed in a firefight with officers, had an ISIS flag at the time of the attack. The FBI said it is investigating potential associations with terrorist organizations.
• The FBI said it doesn't think the driver was “solely responsible.” Weapons, as well as “potential improvised explosive devices,” otherwise known as IEDs, were found in the vehicle, the FBI said. Officials also located IEDs in the French Quarter.
• The attack in the popular French Quarter happened less than a mile from where The Sugar Bowl was to be hosted Wednesday. The annual college football game was postponed for 24 hours for public safety reasons, the bowl’s CEO said.
