New Orleans Attack: Investigators Believe Suspect Did Not Act Alone

The tragic attack in New Orleans that claimed 15 lives on New Year’s Day has raised concerns of terrorism, as investigators believe the primary suspect, Shamsud-Din Jabbar, did not act alone. Jabbar, a 42-year-old US citizen, drove a pickup truck into a crowd on a bustling street in the French Quarter before exiting the vehicle and opening fire on the people around him. Police responded quickly, fatally shooting Jabbar at the scene.

FBI’s Investigation and Possible Terrorism Links

The FBI, which is investigating the incident, discovered an Islamic State flag inside the vehicle, while two improvised explosive devices (IEDs) were found in the vicinity. Alethea Duncan, Assistant Special Agent for the FBI, emphasized that investigators do not believe Jabbar was “solely responsible” and are treating the event as an “act of terrorism.”

Links to Las Vegas Explosion?

President Joe Biden noted that investigators are exploring possible links between the New Orleans attack and an explosion involving a Tesla Cybertruck outside the Trump Hotel in Las Vegas on the same day. However, he clarified that there are no confirmed connections as of now. Authorities continue to analyze the situation closely.

The Attack and Its Aftermath

The attack, which occurred at approximately 03:15 local time on January 1, sent shockwaves through the French Quarter, a popular area for both tourists and locals. New Orleans Coroner Dr. Dwight McKenna confirmed that the death toll had risen to 15 by evening, with several others injured. The identities of the victims will be formally released after post-mortem examinations are completed.

Among the victims was Martin “Tiger” Bech, a former football star from Princeton University. Bob Surace, the head football coach at Princeton, paid tribute to Bech, describing him as a fierce competitor, beloved teammate, and caring friend.

Witnesses Describe Horrifying Scenes

New Orleans Police Chief Anne Kirkpatrick confirmed that Jabbar’s intent appeared to be clear: “This man was trying to run over as many people as he possibly could.” Witnesses described the horrific scene, with people scrambling to avoid the truck and gunfire as chaos unfolded on one of the city’s most popular streets. Authorities are continuing their investigation, seeking to identify any accomplices and determine the full scope of Jabbar’s motives.

A City in Shock

The residents and visitors of New Orleans are grappling with the horror of the attack, as the city has been left in shock. Local officials have vowed to bring those responsible to justice, while federal agencies continue their investigation into the potential terrorist connections and Jabbar’s network.

The attack marks a somber start to the new year, and the city is mourning its loss while also grappling with the uncertainty surrounding the broader implications of the attack.

New Orleans Attack: Weaponry and Background of Suspect Revealed

As the investigation into the New Year’s Day attack in New Orleans continues, new details have emerged regarding the suspect, Shamsud-Din Jabbar, and the weaponry involved in the assault.

A long gun, equipped with a “suppressive device” acting as a silencer, was recovered from the scene of the attack. This adds to the growing concern over the nature of the weapons used. Investigators also discovered that the pickup truck used by Jabbar was rented in Texas via a rental app, further linking him to the state.

Background of Shamsud-Din Jabbar

Jabbar, a 42-year-old US citizen born in Texas, has a military background. He previously served in the US Army, where he held various roles, including positions in human resources and IT, as indicated by a now-removed LinkedIn profile. He was discharged from the Army after serving for an unspecified period.

Jabbar’s educational background includes studying at Georgia State University from 2015 to 2017, where he earned a degree in computer information systems. He also dabbled in the real estate sector, holding a real estate license that expired in 2021.

A Troubled Past

Records show that Jabbar had a criminal history, primarily relating to traffic offenses and theft. The combination of his military background, educational qualifications, and previous legal issues adds to the complexity of his motives, leaving investigators with more questions than answers.

Possible Terrorist Motive and Continuing Investigation

The presence of an Islamic State group flag inside Jabbar’s vehicle, along with the discovery of improvised explosive devices, has led investigators to treat the incident as an act of terrorism. However, authorities continue to explore the possibility that Jabbar did not act alone and are working to piece together his actions leading up to the deadly attack.

As the investigation unfolds, the authorities are focusing on understanding the full scope of Jabbar’s background, his potential connections to extremist groups, and whether anyone else was involved in planning the attack.

Witness Accounts Reveal Chaos During New Orleans Attack

Witnesses who were in New Orleans’ French Quarter during the New Year’s celebrations have described the horrific scene as the attack unfolded. The bustling area, popular with both locals and tourists, turned into a scene of panic and chaos as the events rapidly escalated.

Shock and Panic on Bourbon Street

Whit Davis, a resident of Shreveport, Louisiana, was at a bar on Bourbon Street with friends when the attack began. Describing the panic, Davis said, “People started running and getting under tables like it was an active shooter drill.” The shock of the moment was palpable, with people scrambling for cover in disbelief as the attack unfolded.

Witnesses Hear Gunshots, Attempt to Help the Injured

Jim and Nicole Mowrer, visitors from Iowa, were on hand when they saw the truck plow through a barricade at high speed. The pair described hearing a series of gunshots followed by loud crashing noises. In the immediate aftermath, they rushed to assist what they believed were injured people, only to later realize the grim truth – the victims had already died.

The witnesses’ accounts paint a harrowing picture of the attack, underscoring the terror and confusion experienced by those caught in the crossfire. As investigators continue to piece together the details, the stories from those present provide a chilling glimpse into the scale of the tragedy.

Hotel Worker Describes Devastating Scene as New Orleans Attack Unfolds

A hotel worker, who was in the process of closing for the evening, described a scene of devastation as he looked out his window and saw “a lot of bodies lying on the ground.” He immediately rushed downstairs to assist those he could, only to find that many had already perished in the attack. “The scene was just horrific,” he said, reflecting on the traumatic sight that unfolded outside.

Presidential Response and State Support

US President Joe Biden expressed “anger and frustration” following the attack, emphasizing the gravity of the situation. The White House confirmed that President Biden had reached out to New Orleans’ mayor to offer “full federal support” for the city’s recovery and investigation into the attack.

Louisiana Governor Jeff Landry also responded, sending his prayers to the victims and first responders on the scene. On X (formerly Twitter), he described the event as a “horrific act of violence” that took place in the heart of Bourbon Street early in the morning, sending shockwaves through the community.

Sugar Bowl Postponed Due to Tragedy

The violent attack led to the postponement of the much-anticipated Sugar Bowl college football game between Notre Dame and the University of Georgia. The event, which draws large crowds to New Orleans, has been rescheduled for Thursday as the city comes to terms with the devastating loss and the security concerns surrounding the area.
