Credited from: NYTIMES

  • Shortly after 3 a.m. on New Year's Day, a white pickup truck accelerated onto Bourbon Street, crashing into a crowd celebrating the new year.
  • Witnesses described the scene as terrifying, with one bystander recalling the screams and horror that followed the impact.
  • The deliberate act of terror resulted in the deaths of at least 15 people and left about three dozen injured.
  • The driver, identified as Shamsud-Din Bahar Jabbar, a U.S. Army veteran, was killed in a shootout with police, and had been armed with weapons and explosives.
  • Federal authorities suspect the attack was not an act of lone wolf terrorism and are investigating connections to larger networks.
