10 dead in New Orleans

[Complete Turf Care]

Waking up to terrible news this morning. Apparently, a truck plowed through a crowd on Bourbon Street around 3 am this morning.

I live about 2 hours from New Orleans, and I really don't want to visit there anymore. It's a fun, beautiful place to visit, but it is now also very dangerous.

And, with the Sugar Bowl there today, this is really bad for the tourist industry in New Orleans.

Just now saying the truck came across the border at eagle pass 2 days ago.

Folks cross the border daily for various reasons, I understand that but close that border. Open borders suck

A port of entry isn’t an open border.

The FBI is supposed to make a statement at about 1 PM CST today. I suppose that now there will be calls to ban pick-up trucks.

The suspect driving the car in New Orleans has been identified as Shamsud Din Jabbar, two federal officials told CBS News.

True question how long did the FBI and other agency's know about this guy...

I wonder why the authorities rushed to cover up the ISIS flag on the truck not allowing local news to see it.

Where did you hear this?

 

[jyoutz]

Now they are reporting that the attacker was a Texas citizen who is ex US military. The FBI is also reporting that they don’t believe he acted alone.

The reports I’ve seen have all been specific in that the boarder license plate reader picked up the plate… nothing about who was in the vehicle only the plate sequence was read.

Plate readers are not 100% because twice in the last 10 years I have been sent toll invoices based on plate but upon further human investigation the vehicle captured was not even close to being my vehicle.

If terrorist why 3 AM when I would suspect streets would be far less crowded than afternoon or evening?

Agree way to little is known or being said at this time to draw conclusions

Thoughts and prayers to those affected by this tragedy
