At least 10 dead and 30 injured following a terrorist attack on people celebrating New Year’s Eve in New Orleans.

Reports indicate that a pickup truck crossed the border at Eagle Pass, Texas, two days before it crashed into a crowd on Bourbon Street.

The suspect is believed to be Shamsud Din Jabbar, 42, a U.S. citizen from Texas, and was killed in an exchange of gunfire with police.

The vehicle allegedly contained improvised explosives and had a black ISIS flag on the back. From the looks of the videos, the truck ran into a four-wheel man lift, and the subject exited the vehicle.

The FBI said the suspect is believed to be Shamsud Din Jabbar, 42, a U.S. citizen from Texas, and he was killed after police returned fire when he began shooting.

Reports indicate that a pickup truck crossed the border at Eagle Pass, Texas, two days ago, and it barreled through a crowd on Bourbon Street.

The vehicle allegedly contained improvised explosives and had a black ISIS flag on the back.

“We are aggressively running down all leads to identify any possible associates of the subject,” the FBI said.

NOPD Superintendent Anne Kirkpatrick said , “This man was trying to run over as many people as he could.”

“He was hellbent on creating the carnage and damage that he did,” Kirkpatrick said. “This was not a DUI situation.”

According to a witness, nobody raised the barricades last night, and the New Orleans authorities were updating a series of security barricades installed in 2017 to deter terrorist attacks on Bourbon Street. Mid-December marked the start of the project, with a planned completion date of February.

The discovery of an ISIS flag on the truck raised concerns about potential ties and affiliations with terrorist groups.

These hydraulic steel barriers were installed on Borboun Street in New Orleans after an attack in France where the t*rrorist used his car as a weapon, k*lling 86.

They’re supposed to be raised between 5pm – 5am.
