Biden to Visit New Orleans After Bourbon Street Attack
|
Acting Presidential for 2 more weeks.
[Newsweek] President Joe Biden is expected to visit New Orleans next week after the horrific New Year's attack on Bourbon Street revelers.
The White House said Friday that Biden and first lady Jill Biden will go to New Orleans on Monday to "grieve with the families and community members impacted by the tragic attack."
On Thursday, Biden said he had ordered an "accelerated" investigation into the attack and praised the resilience of the people of New Orleans.
"New Orleans is a place like no other," he said. "Its history, its culture and above all its people. So I know while this person committed a terrible assault on the city, the spirit of our New Orleans will never, never, never be defeated. It always will shine forth."
| He actually said all that? With his own mouth? Unprompted? Sure he did. |
DETAILS ABOUT THE NEW ORLEANS ATTACK
At around 4:15 a.m. local time on Wednesday, Shamsud-Din Jabbar, a 42-year-old U.S. Army veteran from Texas, allegedly rammed a pickup truck into a crowd of New Year's revelers on Bourbon Street in the French Quarter in what is being investigated as an act of terrorism.
The truck eventually stopped, and Jabbar allegedly opened fire on responding police officers, injuring two before being killed in a shootout with law enforcement.
An ISIS flag, weapons and multiple IED bombs were found in the suspect's rented truck. Federal officials are investigating Jabbar's potential associations with terror organizations.
The FBI currently believes Jabbar acted alone in the attack.
