A pickup truck driver killed 15 people and injured dozens more after driving into a crowd of New Year's revelers in New Orleans . The FBI is investigating the attack as a terrorist act and believes the driver may not have acted alone. The driver, who posted videos on social media hours before the attack expressing support for the Islamic State group and a desire to kill, was shot dead by police after plowing through a police barricade.
Investigators found guns and what appeared to be an improvised explosive device in the vehicle, which bore the flag of the Islamic State group, along with other explosive devices elsewhere in the city's famed French Quarter. Witnesses described a scene of horror, with bodies strewn along the street and people fleeing for safety. This attack is the latest example of a vehicle being used as a weapon to carry out mass violence and the deadliest IS-inspired assault on U.S. soil in years
