Witnesses told CBS News reporter Kati Weis that a truck crashed into a crowd on Bourbon Street at high speed, and then the driver got out and started firing a weapon, with police returning fire.

...and to think, this tactic for mass homicide started with Hezbollah in Lebanon and now happens all over the world, especially when Christians or Jews are celebrating a holiday. When was the last time a Muslim plowed into a group of Muslims celebrating Id Al Fitr?

If deliberate? High speed into a crowd then gets out and starts shooting. That screams deliberate.

This is interesting...

'Mass casualty incident' reported on Bourbon Street in New Orleans as car plows into crowd

Per the above...

...The NOPD reported the incident at 4 a.m. on Wednesday morning...

Wonder why the 45 minute delay...

Bourbon Street is normally a pedestrian venue, with bollards.

A car “may have”? There was never any question what happened. It was a pickup truck, and it plowed into the crowd. May have?
Freepers, please read my tagline, it’s a matter of life, and death.

If it was a muzzy terrorist, it will be blamed on the SUV and the “privilege” of the crowd.

First responders were initially radioed to Canal and Bourbon. Canal Street is the main thoroughfare with the big hotels on the edge of the French Quarter.
