New Orleans attack

[Sangersteve]

Ten people were killed and dozens injured early Wednesday when a man intentionally drove a pickup truck into a crowd on Bourbon Street in New Orleans' French Quarter as revelers were celebrating the new year, officials said. New Orleans Police Department Superintendent Anne Kirkpatrick said the man drove through barricades and hurtled down Bourbon Street in "very intentional behavior" before opening fire on officers.

"This man was trying to run over as many people as he could," said Kirkpatrick, adding that two police officers were hit by gunfire but were in a stable condition.

Mayor LaToya Cantrell called it a "terrorist attack," but an FBI official who spoke along with the other officials Wednesday morning did not characterize it that way.

Of course he didn't. That's one reason of many the FBI swamp is going to be drained.

Native Texan, possibly got radicalized somewhere along the way. Allegedly had explosives in the truck.

Do you have proof that he was a Muslim or did you just make it up?
