New Orleans Attack: Suspect Carried ISIS Flag In Bourbon Street Tragedy

A terror attack on New Year’s Day in New Orleans’ French Quarter killed 10 and injured 35 after a Texas Army veteran rammed a truck into crowds and opened fire. The FBI is investigating possible ties to ISIS, and the Sugar Bowl has been postponed.


NEW ORLEANS, LA (2-minute read) — New Orleans rang in the New Year with tragedy as a 42-year-old Texas man drove a rented pickup truck into crowds on Bourbon Street, killing 10 and injuring at least 35 others. The attack occurred in the early hours of New Year’s Day, disrupting celebrations and raising serious security concerns. Authorities have postponed the Sugar Bowl, originally scheduled for later that day, as the investigation unfolds.

The FBI identified the suspect as Shamsud-Din Bahar Jabbar, a U.S. citizen and Army veteran. Jabbar was killed during a shootout with police after he crashed the truck and fired on officers, wounding two who are now in stable condition. Officials found an Islamic State flag, firearms, and a potential improvised explosive device in the vehicle, along with additional explosive materials in the French Quarter.

According to Assistant Special Agent Alethea Duncan, the FBI is working tirelessly to uncover any connections between the suspect and known terrorist organizations. Citizens with information are encouraged to contact authorities immediately.

The tragedy has drawn attention to the city’s ongoing efforts to enhance pedestrian safety. Recently, New Orleans began upgrading security bollards along Bourbon Street, replacing older barriers with more robust, removable ones. However, it remains unclear if any bollards were operational at the time of the attack.

Attorney General Merrick B. Garland confirmed that the incident is being treated as an act of terrorism. Multiple federal agencies, including the FBI and ATF, are coordinating with local authorities to determine if the explosives in Jabbar’s truck were viable.

The attack unfolded near Canal and Bourbon Streets, where thousands had gathered to celebrate New Year’s and prepare for the Sugar Bowl between Notre Dame and the University of Georgia. The event has been rescheduled for the safety of attendees and participants.

Safety Tip: Always stay aware of your surroundings in crowded areas, especially during large public events. Familiarize yourself with emergency exits and report suspicious activity immediately.
