A reported terror attack hit New Orleans this morning with at least 12 people dead and at least 35 injured.
Fox News reported a driver in a white pick-up truck intentionally plowed a car into a crowd of New Year’s gatherers on Bourbon Street in New Orleans, according to authorities.
The driver exited the vehicle and fired a weapon after hitting the crowd. Two police officers were reportedly injured in the gunfight.
There was a significant police presence and emergency vehicles at the scene. The 30 people have been transported to five hospitals.
The suspect died during the gunfight with police. It is unclear at this point if it was suicide by cop or he took his own life.
New Orleans Mayor LaToya Cantrell called the incident a “terrorist attack” at a news conference. FBI Special Agent Aletha Duncan disputed her at the press conference and said this was not confirmed.
