Federal law enforcement is investigating a mass casualty event in New Orleans as an “act of terrorism” after a truck was driven into crowds on a popular nightlife street in the early hours of New Year’s Day.
The FBI, which is leading the investigation, said Wednesday the man who plowed into New Orleans’s famed Bourbon Street in the city’s French Quarter neighborhood is dead after killing 10 people and injuring dozens more.
New Orleans Police Superintendent Anne Kirkpatrick called the attack “very intentional” during a news conference Wednesday, suggesting the assailant was “hellbent on creating the carnage and the damage he did.”
She said the man drove a pickup truck at high speed into crowds around 3:15 a.m. CST before crashing and then opening fire at police, shooting two officers, who are in stable condition. The assailant was killed by returned fire, according to the FBI.

Ya think?
Charlie Kirk on Twitter is reporting that authorities are reporting 4-5 other people were involved in the attack.
Kind of hard to write that off as a lone wolf attack.
“Shamsud Din Jabbar...ISIS flag in the truck”
I hope the FBI brings out their best people to investigate and figure out motive.
The story is too high profile to bury, so the media will just be forced to spin and distract while covering minor angles of the story. They will soon find some little story to seize upon instead.
Quick, flood the school board meetings and Cathlolic churches with FBI agents!
Investigate the local garages!
There might be MAGA White Supremacists!
Good point
The “media” is breathing a sigh of relief. Skyhook Jabbar is a “U.S. Citizen” and an evil, “glock and rifle-owning” Texan from El Paso. Those damn murdering Texans. See. And we all wanted to blame the Muzzie terrorists! Shame on us!

Numbers 33:55 — But if ye will not drive out the inhabitants of the land from before you; then it shall come to pass, that those which ye let remain of them shall be pricks in your eyes, and thorns in your sides, and shall vex you in the land wherein ye dwell.
I don’t think Moses ever dreamed that they would be imported in, so he did not mention that aspect.
Were these among the terrorists that Biden let into the country?
This deserves a collective ‘DOH!!!’.
Like the fact he can’t be a terrorist because the pickup was not a Toyota ytechnical?
Or that he should be praised for being green because the pickup was an F-150 lightning (electric)?
Will Musk offer to sponsor the next one with one of his new electric trucks, because Americans are retards and we can F our own Face?
The dealer emblem on the back of the truck is from Mac Haik Ford out of Houston- which is smack dab in the center of a heavy middle eastern population
So why did the 20-something female DEI “agent” scold the Mayor for calling it a “terror attack” overnight?
Terrorism is the Islamic method of evangelism.
I hope he doesn’t have big eyebrows and a goatee. Another liberal martyr getting the far-left girls gone wild all worked up.
Boy Howdy, that FBI is one bunch of SMART INDIVIDULES! sarcasm off.
The suspect of the New Orleans truck attack, Shamsud Din Jabbar, was raised in Texas and was in the U.S. Army Reserve from 2015 to 2020. Additionally he had a stolen Glock and a 308 rifle with him.
Apparently he was born here in 1982.
LOL! I’ve got that same dealer emblem on the back of my Ford Maverick. Oh crap! ROTFL!
