Crowd panicking after the 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.

Galatoire's
Galatoire's

Galatoire's is a restaurant at 209 Bourbon Street in the French Quarter of New Orleans, Louisiana, United States. Jean Galatoire, an immigrant from a small village near Pau, France, in the foothills of the Pyrenees Mountains, established a "saloon on Canal Street" in 1896. In 1905, Galatoire purchased Victor's Restaurant, in business at the location since the mid-1800s. Galatoire renamed the restaurant and began cooking the dishes from his homeland. The restaurant is run by his fourth-generation descendants. Galatoire's specializes in French Creole cooking. The main entrance, a French door, leads into the first-floor dining room. The first-floor dining room is a mix of high ceilings, slow-moving paddle fans, and mirrored opposing walls, maintaining much of the look of a mid-19th century restaurant. The second-floor dining rooms, opened in 1999, comprise smaller rooms overlooking Bourbon Street. At lunch, men may dress casually, although after 5:00 PM, and all day on Sundays, men must wear a jacket. In 2004, Galatoire's was cited by the James Beard Foundation as the "outstanding restaurant" in America.Until 1999, the restaurant did not accept reservations, leaving patrons to stand in long lines on the Bourbon Street sidewalk. With the addition of the second-floor dining rooms and bar, standing on Bourbon Street is only needed for first-floor dining room seats, which are still always on a first-come-first-served basis. Exceptions to their first-come-first-served policy have never been allowed. According to the restaurant: One Friday then-President Ronald Reagan placed a call to then retired U.S. Senator J. Bennett Johnston, who happened to be waiting in line for a table. After the President’s call had ended, Senator Johnston graciously returned to his position in line.Most of the waiters are long-time employees who are professionals and local to south Louisiana. In 2005, a second restaurant, Galatoire's Bistro, opened just off Interstate-10 on the southern fringe of Baton Rouge. In December 2009, the descendants of founder Jean Galatoire, who had owned the restaurant for five generations, sold a controlling interest in the business to Destrehan businessman Todd Trosclair. After a subsequent transaction, a majority of Trosclair's interest was sold to New Orleans businessman (and political candidate) John Georges. As a result of this sale, Georges became the largest, though not majority, shareholder. Trosclair, who became chair of the board of directors, noted that even he would have to wait in line. Five members of the Galatoire family remain as minority owners. The executive chef, as of September 2018, is Phillip Lopez.
