WSDU ^ | 1/1/25 | Chelsea Robinson

Sources confirm to WDSU that the Sugar Bowl has been postponed to Thursday after a terror attack happened in the New Orleans French Quarter.

As tourists descended on New Orleans to attend the Sugar Bowl at Caesars Superdome New Year's Day, police swarmed Bourbon Street.

At least ten people were killed and 26 injured when a pickup truck "intentionally" plowed into a crowd. The FBI is calling it an act of terrorism.

NOPD Superintendent Anne Kirkpatrick said she wanted the community and visitors to "continue enjoying" New Orleans, despite the tragedy.

Officials with the Sugar Bowl issued the following statement about the attack:

“The Sugar Bowl Committee is devastated by the terrible events from early this morning. Our thoughts and prayers are with the victims and their families. We are in ongoing discussions with authorities on the local, state, and federal levels and will communicate further details as they become available," Jeff Hundley, Chief Executive Officer.

I figured they would postpone the game.

( My nephew and his wife have just arrived in New Orleans. I'm not sure if they will turn around and head back home or stay overnight for the game tomorrow.)

ISIS is the enemy and must be destroyed.
The suspect reportedly had an ISIS flag on his truck. Four or five other people involved, according to a report.

TOO FU|<!|\|G LATE !!!

There’s plenty of extra already in OUR COUNTRY !!!

Just about every politician needs to be charged, prosecuted and convicted of TREASON for what they did with the open border.

Yet another reason to give President Trump wholehearted support!

Our resident ‘president’ is soaking up rays on the beach. I wonder if they even bothered to notify him about this.

Theres a bunch of people who won’t be able to go to the game because they can’t afford it (extra stay time) or get extra time off.

Very frustrating and disappointing for them.

I know that I would be very pissed off if it was Me.

And it was deliberate on the part of Biden’s puppeteers. the 10+ million people didn’t just generically decide beginning 4 yrs ago to travel to our nation from all over the world. They were encouraged, funded, & abetted in traveling by people in our government. It was done using our tax-dollars.

Notice the Biden administration didn’t bring in those with western ideals who were looking for freedom. They brought in those who support Sharia law and who ideas are abhorrent to a freedom loving God worshiping people.

You left off the final step. Hope this helps!

Biden and Mayorkas are co-conspirators and should be charged.

I would expect more coordinated attacks leading up to Inauguration Day 1-20-2025. I hope Trump has a good security detail.

ESPN says no firm date to play the game yet rather they are considering tomorrow night. Can’t see them doing anything else.
