A British citizen is among the 14 victims of a tragic New Year’s Day attack in New Orleans, leaving many in shock and mourning.
New Orleans: A British citizen has been confirmed as one of the 14 victims in a shocking New Year’s Day attack. The tragedy unfolded when a man drove his truck into a crowd celebrating on Bourbon Street.
The coroner hasn’t released the victim’s name yet, likely waiting for arrangements with the UK government. It’s a tough situation for the family, and our hearts go out to them.
The suspect, Shamsud-Din Jabbar, is accused of this horrific act. He drove a white Ford pickup into the crowd, causing chaos and leaving many injured. It was a scene no one expected to witness on New Year’s.
Authorities found bombs in Jabbar’s truck and in the area, raising alarms about the attack’s planning. Just hours before, he posted videos online expressing his support for ISIS, which is chilling.
In one video, Jabbar mentioned he initially wanted to harm his friends and family but changed his mind, wanting to make a bigger statement. It’s disturbing to think about his mindset.
The FBI is investigating, and the Foreign Office has been contacted for more information. This incident has left the community shaken, and many are still trying to process what happened.
Stay tuned for updates as more details emerge. It’s a tragic start to the year, and we hope for healing for all affected.
