Amidst mourning the victims of a deadly New Year's attack in which an Army veteran plowed a pickup truck into revelers on Bourbon Street, New Orleans is slowly returning to normalcy. Officials confirmed the attack was inspired by the Islamic State militant group, and the driver, Shamsud-Din Jabbar, was fatally shot during a firefight with police. While authorities processed the scene and removed the last of the bodies, Bourbon Street reopened for business, with street performers and football fans returning to the iconic location. Events like the Sugar Bowl college football game and the Joan of Arc parade are proceeding as planned, showcasing the city's resilience. President Biden plans to visit next week to offer condolences to the affected community.
Street performers and football fans returned to New Orleans streets as the city inched back toward normalcy while mourning victims of the deadly New Year's rampage in which an Army veteran plowed a pickup truck into revelers. Fourteen people were killed in the attack along Bourbon Street that officials said was inspired by the Islamic State militant group.
The New Orleans attack plans also included the placement of crude bombs in the neighborhood in an apparent attempt to cause more carnage, officials said. Two improvised explosive devices left in coolers several blocks apart were rendered safe at the scene. Other devices were determined to be nonfunctional. Investigators also were trying to understand more about Jabbar's path to radicalization, which they say culminated with him picking up a rented truck in Houston on Dec.
