  • The incident on Bourbon Street saw a gunman drive a truck into a crowd, resulting in 14 fatalities and over 30 injuries.
  • Following previous terrorist attacks, New Orleans had implemented road-blocking bollards to enhance safety during events, particularly on Bourbon Street.
  • At the time of the attack, 11 of the 16 bollards were non-operational and undergoing repairs, which officials cited as a major concern.
  • New Orleans police leadership faced backlash for a lack of knowledge about additional safety barriers that could have been deployed during the incident.
  • Former homeland security director, Aaron Miller, expressed regret that protective measures were not in use during the attack, highlighting the city's prior awareness of potential terror risks.
