New Year’s celebrations turned to tragedy in New Orleans after a driver rammed a truck into the crowd at the city’s iconic Bourbon Street, killing at least 15 and injuring 35 others.
The killer has been identified as 42-year-old Shamsud Din Jabbar. He was killed in a firefight that injured two police officers.
Jabbar grew up in Texas and is believed to have served in the military for ten years, sources told The Post.
Jabbar drove an EV pickup truck with a black Islamic caliphate flag on the back through the barricades on the corner of Bourbon and Canal street.
New Orleans terror suspect Shamsud Din Jabbar may not have acted alone, the FBI confirmed in a startling update Wednesday afternoon.
“We do not believe that Jabbar was solely responsible,” the bureau told reporters during a news conference.
Law enforcement sources told The Post that investigators are looking looking into the possibility of someone who helped fix or enable the carnage.
“We are aggressively running down every lead, including those of his known associates,” they added, calling on the public to reach out if they have had any interactions with the 42-year-old Texas native, who officials say served in the military for 10 years.
Investigators confirmed that at least 10 people were killed when Jabbar drove a rented Ford pickup truck into a crowd celebrating New Year’s on Bourbon Street just after 3 a.m. Wednesday.
