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.”

Bourbon street is closed today. 

Maximum Security for the route to Superdome this evening.

News says the guy drove around or through barricades, shot two cops.  No word on how he ended up.  Tears in my eyes for everyone involved.

Now see driver killed by officers.  Good riddance

Awful news from one of my favorite cities. I’ve always wondered why they don’t block Bourbon to traffic at night. 

You bet they will now.

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.

Uh I thought they do? Says the driver drove through barricades.

Local caller on the news claimed they didn't have the normal hardened barricades up and they just had the plastic traffic barricades.

This just makes me sick. What a shit way to start 25. Fuck.

Have we ruled out another Georgia football player being a shitty driver? 

Pretty high level of execution for the SEC...

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

Mayor says it was a terror attack, FBI says it wasn’t. What’s the definition?

Idk but it doesn't make much of a difference. Senseless violence either way.

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.

Zip tied the flag closed?  Should have left it alone. Will only fuel speculation 

Law enforcement may have done that to prevent wacko revenge attacks.

Another board posting saying the suspect/truck came across the border at Eagle Pass two days ago. This is possibly Fox News info so take it for what it is worth
