An Airbnb where the suspect who allegedly drove into a crowd at a New Year's celebration in New Orleans was staying burned down, according to local news reports.

Newsweek reached out to the New Orleans Fire Department via phone and email for comment. Newsweek also reached out to the Airbnb communication team via email.

Nola.com reported that people were evacuated from the St. Roch area in New Orleans Wednesday morning after a fire broke out at an Airbnb. The site reported that law enforcement officials, as well as bomb squad detectives, were called to 1329 Mandeville Street. The Airbnb is about a mile and a half from where the attack took place.

Newsweek did not find a listed Airbnb at this address, but there are multiple in the area, including one across the street.

Local news station WDSU reported that a woman who lived near the fire arrived home around 5 a.m., and the fire department was already in the area.

His place was only a couple blocks from where we stayed.

If there is any significant number of attacks you can kiss the Democrats goodbye for 8 years.

The (alleged) murderer's mosque comments, "It is important you do not respond."

Weird coincidence that this guy and the driver of the Tesla bomb both rented their vehicles from the same app.

[jon-nyc]

What app is that?

[Mik]

I suspect it was Turo . Airbnb for cars.

[89th]

Yeah it was Turo. I used it a few years ago when it was impossible to get rental cars. It met the need but I haven't used it since because rental cars are accessible again.

The presser was pretty much a disaster. Lots of platitudes, grandstanding and posturing, no real information. Kennedy was the only person that made much sense.

[89th]

Ah yes the FBI. It's a lawfare just-us organization that needs to be cut while also come on FBI why didn't you stop this?

Also, lost in the headlines, this happened yesterday too: https://apnews.com/article/homemade-bombs-seized-virginia-firearms-c68488480ef8bd3de7b432272399aa28

No, I don't work for the FBI. But I have friends that do, and you would (or wouldn't?) be surprised with how much they thwart beforehand.

Not really what I was expecting. I wonder how much of this was mental health as opposed to religious fanaticism.

He became radicalized in the last two years. His ex-wife's husband said that it drove her crazy.

[Mik]

He looked more black than Middle Eastern.

Weird.

Probably quite a lot. Authorities are now stating they believe he acted alone and no one else was involved as previously thought. Moreover no links are showing up with the Tesla bomb in Vegas.

A rabid lone wolf nutter.

Again, resources are not unlimited.

What are your priorities?

People's lives?

Or an exhibition of power?
