At least 10 people were killed and dozens injured when a vehicle drove into a crowd on Bourbon Street in New Orleans during New Year celebrations. The driver then exited the car and fired a weapon. The incident occurred around 3:15 AM, and New Orleans Mayor LaToya Cantrell initially called it a terrorist attack, though the FBI later contradicted that claim,
Two police officers were injured but are stable. Authorities had increased security for New Year’s Eve, with 300 extra officers deployed. Governor Jeff Landry urged people to avoid the area, and Bourbon Street was shut down. The suspect’s status remains unclear.
