At least 15 people were killed and 30 injured after an attacker intentionally drove a pickup truck through a crowd on New Orleans' Bourbon Street during New Year's Eve festivities. Officials are describing the attack as an act of terrorism. The driver was killed in a shootout with police shortly after exiting the vehicle.

Officials identified the suspect as 42-year-old Shamsud-Din Jabbar. As of this writing, details remain forthcoming, though Jabbar was said to be flying an ISIS flag in the bed of the truck during the attack. According to reports, Jabbar—a US Army veteran and US citizen from Texas, said to be outfitted in full military gear—shot two first responders, both of whom were in stable condition. City officials said barriers to prevent attacks, installed in 2017 along the street, were being replaced and had been removed in November.
Federal officials had some (but not conclusive) evidence Jabbar may not have acted alone. While no evidence as of late Wednesday linked the two events, officials are also probing the explosion of a Cybertruck outside the Trump Hotel in Las Vegas that killed the driver and injured seven others.
