Butchery on Bourbon Street UPDATE: US Army veteran attacks crowd with truck and guns, killing 10 for ISIS, 4 friends planted IEDs in area
|
[USA Today] At least 10 people were killed and as many as 30 injured after a vehicle drove into a large crowd on Bourbon Street in New Orleans' French Quarter early on Wednesday, according to the FBI and city leaders.
A truck crashed into the crowd at high speed and the driver then got out, firing a gun, New Orleans Police Department Superintendent Anne Kirkpatrick said at an early morning news conference.
"It is unknown what his intentions were at this time"
"He was hell bent on creating the carnage and the damage that he did . . . This man was trying to run over as many people as he possibly could. It was not a DUI situation," Kirkpatrick said. Two police officers were shot but are in stable condition, she said.
The incident happened around 3:15 a.m., according to the city's emergency responders.
UPDATE at 6:00 p.m. ET, to capture for future searches:

The suspect drove two blocks through the crowd before crashing into a construction crane, then opened fire on police, injuring two, before they shot and killed him. A Glock handgun and .308 caliber rifle equipped with optics and a sensor were recovered from the crime scene.
Law enforcement is investigating at least two IEDs planted in French Quarter area, plus one in truck — remote-detonation pipe bombs filled with nails — looking for 3 men and a woman seen on video surveillance planting the things.
People also evacuated from an Airbnb in the St. Roch area as well. A fire broke out that law enforcement officials said was connected to the attack.

According to NOLA.com, the miscreant is a former real estate agent (1019-2023) who worked for Deloitte. He lived in Fresno with his wife until divorced in 2022, then moved to Houston, where he rented a mobile home from Asia Maryam, paying promptly every month in cash, even though his ex-wife said he had money problems due to spending excessively on “paramours”. In a YouTube posted four years ago to promote his real estate business, he called himself a human resources and IT specialist for the US military.
When he lived in North Carolina, in 2012, he was registered as a Democrat.
