Mourning enveloped New Orleans on New Year’s Day following a tragic incident. On January 1, 2025, a truck plowed into a crowd, resulting in the deaths of 12 individuals and injuring 30 others.
The incident occurred at the bustling intersection of Canal and Bourbon Street, where many people had gathered to celebrate. In the aftermath, local authorities classified the event as a terrorist attack. Reports from AP indicate that security personnel neutralized the assailant.
Car Drove into Crowed
According to local officials, this event appears to have been carried out with intent. The individual responsible not only drove a truck into a gathering of people but also commenced shooting shortly thereafter. In the wake of the incident, those injured were seen lying on the ground as others fled in various directions. The New Orleans police promptly intervened, ensuring that the injured were taken to the hospital, where the attackers were also detained.
FBI investigation and police statement
An investigation into the attack has been launched by the FBI. Officials have indicated that ‘Improvised Explosive Devices’ (IEDs) were located at the scene, which escalates the seriousness of the situation. According to the police superintendent of New Orleans, the FBI is now overseeing the inquiry, and more than three hundred officers have been mobilized to assist.
