The FBI says it's investigating a terror attack on the
iconic Bourbon Street in New Orleans. People gathered to
ring in the new year when police say a 42-year-old
Shamso Din Jabbar, an Army veteran, drove a
white pickup truck into a crowd, killing 15 and
wounding dozens more. They say he got out and
fired at officers. Bystander video shows the aftermath.
The killer was an American citizen born in Texas.
He posted videos on social media. Indicating that inspired
by ISIS. Now the FBI says agents are executing
search warrants in New Orleans and other states. Law
enforcement in Houston shut off access to a road near
one of the homes listed as a recent address of
the suspected attacker. Louisiana Senator John Kennedy says the
FBI doesn't think Jabbar acted alone right now. They're
in the process of trying to catch the bad guys
. Also Wednesday morning in Las Vegas, police say
a Tesla cyber truck exploded outside President-elect Donald Trump's hotel
, killing the suspect inside and wounding 7 others.
President Joe Biden says authorities are looking into a possible
connection with the New Orleans attack. There's nothing to
report on that score at this time.
