Car crash damage in New Orleans
At approximately 3:15 a.m. local time, a white pickup truck drove through Bourbon Street, resulting in 10 fatalities and over 30 injuries. The driver, who was killed in a subsequent police shootout, deliberately targeted New Year's revelers in what Mayor LaToya Cantrell has labeled a "terrorist attack." The FBI is currently investigating the incident.
Police Chief Anne Kirkpatrick confirmed enhanced security measures are in place for tonight's College Football Playoff quarterfinal game between Georgia and Notre Dame. While authorities advise avoiding Bourbon Street, they encourage visitors and residents to continue their planned activities.
