A tragic New Year’s Day event in New Orleans resulted in at least 15 fatalities when Shamsud-Din Jabbar drove his pickup truck into a crowd, subsequently opening fire. The assailant, a U.S. Army veteran, appeared to be motivated by ISIS-inspired ideology, as indicated by his online activities. The FBI is investigating the incident, which also left two police officers injured. The attack occurred in the French Quarter during a peak celebration period, further heightened by the city’s hosting of major events like the Sugar Bowl and the upcoming Super Bowl.
