  • New Orleans was upgrading security barriers along Bourbon Street before a truck attack that killed at least 10 people.

  • A recent report highlighted risks in the French Quarter, noting its dense pedestrian traffic and vulnerability to mass casualty incidents.
  • New Orleans Police Chief described how the attacker circumvented the existing barriers, emphasizing a deliberate intent to cause destruction.
  • The project to install removable, stainless-steel bollards is set to be finished by late January, aiming to improve security in time for the Super Bowl.
