Truck Plows Into Crowd in New Orleans

A tragic incident in New Orleans on New Year's Day resulted in at least 10 fatalities and over 35 injuries when a truck deliberately drove into a crowd on Bourbon Street. Authorities are treating the crash as an intentional act of terrorism, as the driver also opened fire on police, injuring two officers before being killed in the ensuing confrontation. An improvised explosive device was discovered in the truck, though its viability remains unclear. New Orleans Mayor LaToya Cantrell condemned the attack, characterizing it as a terrorist act. The FBI is leading the investigation, and President Biden has been briefed on the situation. The victims are predominantly locals, and the incident occurred amid New Year celebrations in a popular nightlife area.
