Multiple people are dead after the New Orleans Police Department reported that a car plowed into a group of people on Bourbon Street.

New Orleans Mayor Latoya Cantrell said in a press conference on Wednesday, Jan. 1 that the attack was reportedly a terrorist act. NOPD Superintendent Anne Kirkpatrick confirmed that the incident was intentional.

Preliminary investigations revealed that the driver drove around the barricades to conduct the act, said Kirkpatrick.

It happened around 3:15 a.m. at the corner of Bourbon and Iberville streets.

At this time, the NOPD is reporting about 10 fatalities with possibly 30 others injured as of 6 a.m. Additionally, Kirkpatrick reported two officers were shot during the incident.

Hard to imagine a car being able to accelerate much in the Quarter.

Now 12 dead.

The truck had a black flag and Texas plates.

Groups that have a black flag:

Antifa
ISIS
Pirates (Jolly ROger)
Islamic Tradition
Radical Environmental Groups

I'll bet it wasn't a Jolly Roger.

If the black female FBI agent tells you it wasn’t a terrorist attack, that means that the perpetrator wasn’t a white man. Or if it was, it was Antifa mostly peaceful protesting.

There's a press conference on now. Apparently, he was an American citizen of Middle Eastern descent, based on his name. He did have an ISIS flag. They are postponing the Sugar Bowl one day.
