A driver intentionally slammed a truck early New Year's Day into a crowd of people celebrating the new year on Bourbon Street, killing at least 14 and injuring many more, authorities said. The attacker is dead, and FBI Deputy Assistant Director Christopher Raia said the attack was an act of terrorism. The FBI has identified the man responsible as Shamsud-Din Jabbar, a 42-year-old U.S.-born citizen from Texas and Army veteran who had posted several videos proclaiming his support for ISIS.
