President Biden and First Lady Jill Biden will visit New Orleans on January 6 to express condolences to victims' families of the tragic Bourbons Street incident.
The attack on New Year's Day resulted in the deaths of 14 people and injuries to 35 others, perpetrated by 42-year-old Shamsud Din Jabbar.
Jabbar, a military veteran, was shot dead by police after he opened fire following the attack.
Prior to the incident, Jabbar posted multiple videos supporting ISIS on social media; evidence suggests he acted independently.
There are concerns about security in Washington as Congress prepares to meet amid this visit, although no links have been found to other recent attacks.
