NEW ORLEANS (WVUE) - Just hours after ringing in the New Year, tragedy has struck in the heart of New Orleans’s most prominent tourist center.

Around 3 a.m., the NOPD says a suspect in a pickup truck slammed into a crowd of people in the area of Bourbon Street and Canal Street before opening fire at police officers.

“This was not a DUI situation,” NOPD Chief Anne Kirkpatrick said. “This was intentional.”

Daughter and wife were supposed to be there with another friend and mom for the Sugar Bowl. They ended up canceling this weekend and coming back here to hang out with her friends from home. She’s up trying to check in with everyone she knows that was there for the game. Pretty terrible deal.

Just now, Jerry Callo said:

Usually terrorism requires destruction or killing for political aims.  Until some motive is developed, FBI isn't going to classify as terrorism.  

If IED’s were also found on the truck, which some reports are saying….then it’s most certainly going to be labeled terrorism. 
 

and yep… unless that’s doctored that’s a Mac Haik logo on the tailgate

Guardian saying terrorism.

FBI now says event an 'act of terrorism'

Following confusion from different branches of the authorities who’ve been discussing the fatal attack on the public in New Orleans in the early hours of New Year’s Day, there is now a clearer line.

The FBI has just said it is investigating the tragedy “as an act of terrorism”, Reuters now reports.

Also, several media outlets and local political leaders are saying the suspect in the attack is dead. We’ll bring you more details as they emerge and are confirmed.
