Morphine Prince 109,683 Posted January 1, 2025 Share Posted January 1, 2025 NEW ORLEANS (AP) — A vehicle raced into a crowd of New Orleans revelers early on New Year’s Day, killing 10 people and injuring 30 others in what the FBI is investigating as an act of terrorism. The driver of the vehicle was killed in a firefight with police following the attack around 3:15 a.m. Wednesday along Bourbon Street in the city’s bustling French Quarter, the FBI said. After the vehicle came to a stop, the driver emerged from the truck and open fire on responding officers, New Orleans police said. Officers returned fire, striking and killing the driver, police said. Two officers were shot and are in stable condition, police said. At a news conference, New Orleans Mayor LaToya Cantrell described the killings as a “terrorist attack” and the city’s police chief said the act was clearly intentional. Police Commissioner Anne Kirkpatrick said the driver was “hell-bent on creating the carnage and the damage that he did.” Read more: https://apnews.com/article/new-orleans-car-bourbon-street-63a1b43d615af365cb8ba6f5f0583eca?taid=67752b7801c1d50001ceecac&utm_campaign=TrueAnthem&utm_medium=AP&utm_source=Twitter Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
