CBSN
The investigation into the deadly truck attack on New Orleans' Bourbon Street continues after a driver plowed into a crowd of New Year's Day revelers, killing at least 15 people and injuring dozens more. The attack is being investigated as an act of terrorism, according to the FBI.
The driver of the truck was identified as Shamsud-Din Jabbar, a 42-year-old U.S. citizen from Texas. He was in the U.S. military, including an 11-month deployment to Afghanistan, according to an Army spokesperson. He was discharged in 2015 and worked in real estate in recent years.
Investigators are continuing to search for a motive. They are also looking into whether Jabbar had any accomplices. New Orleans Police Department Superintendent Anne Kirkpatrick told "CBS Mornings" Thursday that law enforcement does not know if the driver acted alone, but Louisiana Attorney General Liz Murrill said there is a belief that "there are multiple people that were involved and working with the driver of the vehicle."
