FBI: The Attacker in the New Orleans Terrorist Attack Acted Alone

The FBI announced on Thursday, January 3, that Shamsuddin Jabbar, a veteran U.S. Army soldier who ran over a crowd in New Orleans with his pickup truck, killed 15 people and injured over 30, "acted alone." According to Reuters, the FBI made this announcement following investigations into the deceased attacker, also stating that Shamsuddin Jabbar had supported the terrorist group ISIS. Previously, the FBI had suggested that the attacker may have received assistance in this attack. On the morning of January 2, a pickup truck driver ran over many people celebrating the New Year in New Orleans, resulting in at least 15 deaths and over 30 injuries. Shamsuddin Jabbar, a 42-year-old American citizen from Texas who had served in Afghanistan, exited his vehicle after running over the crowd in the "French Quarter" of New Orleans and began shooting. As a result of his shooting, two police officers were injured. The victims of the New Orleans attack included a mother of a 4-year-old child who had recently moved to a new apartment after a job promotion, a financial worker from New York, an athlete who had returned home for the holidays, and an 18-year-old from Mississippi who aspired to become a nurse. The FBI has not yet released the names of the victims of this terrorist attack. The FBI had previously indicated that a flag of the ISIS terrorist group was found in the attacker's vehicle and stated that investigations are ongoing to determine any potential connections and affiliations of the suspect with "terrorist organizations."
