2025 New Orleans truck attack
The 2025 New Orleans truck attack occurred on January 1, 2025, at around 3:15 a.m. CST (UTC–6), a man drove a pickup truck into a crowd on Bourbon Street in New Orleans, Louisiana, United States, then exited the truck and engaged in a shootout with police before being fatally shot. Fifteen people were killed, including the suspect, and at least thirty-five others were injured, including two police officers who were shot. The attack occurred during New Year celebrations in the city, which was scheduled to host the 2025 Sugar Bowl later that day. The Federal Bureau of Investigation (FBI) identified the driver as Shamsud-Din Jabbar, an American-born resident of Houston, Texas, and a convert to Islam. An Islamic State (IS) jihadist flag was found on the back of the truck. The FBI is investigating the attack as an act of domestic terrorism, since there is no evidence of any foreign direction behind the attack. The FBI initially investigated the attack in conjunction with a truck explosion at the Trump International Hotel Las Vegas that occurred the same day, but later stated that they could find no definitive link between the two incidents.
