Bureau says it is conducting search warrants in New Orleans ‘and other states’ as authorities do not believe Shamsud-Din Jabbar ‘was solely responsible’
Police said the attack began about 3.15am (09.15am GMT) near Bourbon Street in the heart of the French Quarter, packed with people celebrating the start of 2025.
The suspect drove a white Ford F-150 electric pickup into a group of pedestrians, then exited and was killed in a shootout with police – two of whom were injured. Two homemade bombs were found and neutralised, the FBI said.
