A male attacker drove a pickup truck into a crowd of New Year's revelers in New Orleans' French Quarter, killing at least 10 people and injuring over 35. The FBI is investigating the incident as terrorism after the attacker exchanged gunfire with police before dying. The motive behind the attack remains unclear.
NEW ORLEANS - A man"hellbent" on"carnage" slammed a pickup truck into a crowd of New Year revelers in New Orleans on Wednesday, killing at least 10 people and injuring more than 35 in an attack authorities said they were investigating as terrorism.
"This man was trying to run over as many people as he possibly could," Police Superintendent Anne Kirkpatrick told reporters.The attacker shot at police, who fired back. Two officers were wounded but were stable, Kirkpatrick said. The New Orleans attack came 10 days after a similar car-ramming assault at a Christmas market in the eastern German city of Magdeburg that killed five and wounded more than 200. In that case police arrested a Saudi man and said he appeared to be mentally disturbed.
A white truck crashed through a barricade"at a very high rate of speed," witness Jim Mowrer told CBS News.
