A man drove a truck into a crowd celebrating New Year's Eve on Bourbon Street, killing at least 15 people and injuring dozens more.
A suspect intent on killing as many people as possible drove a pickup truck through barricades and plowed into a crowd of New Year's revelers on Bourbon Street in New Orleans at a high rate of speed, leaving at least 15 dead and injuring dozens of others early Wednesday, city and federal officials said.
After mowing down numerous people over a three-block stretch on the famed thoroughfare while firing shots into the crowd, the suspect -- identified by the FBI as Shamsud Din Jabbar, a 42-year-old Army veteran -- allegedly got out of the truck wielding an assault rifle and opened fire on police officers. Officers returned fire, killing the suspect. At least two police officers were shot and wounded. The FBI is now looking into videos that appear to have been taken by the suspect in the deadly New Orleans truck attack. The videos appear to have been recorded while the suspect was driving from Texas to Louisiana, and the suspect can be heard talking about his divorce, a desire to kill members of his family, and ISIS
