At least 10 dead, dozens injured as vehicle crashes into New Orleans crowd



At least 10 people have been killed and 35 injured after a pickup truck drove into a crowd in Louisiana stateโ€™s New Orleans, local police said.
Following Wednesdayโ€™s incident on Canal and Bourbon Street, the New Orleans Emergency Preparedness Programme, or NOLA Ready, advised people to stay away from the area.
โ€œIt did involve a man driving a pickup truck down Bourbon Street at a very fast pace, and it was very intentional behaviour,โ€ Police Superintendent Anne Kirkpatrick told reporters.
โ€œThis man was trying to run over as many people as he possibly could โ€ฆ it was not a DUI situation,โ€ she added. Kirkpatrick revealed that two police officers were shot by the perpetrator, noting that they were in โ€œstableโ€ condition.
Earlier, CBS News, citing witnesses, reported that a truck had crashed into the crowd at high speed, and then the driver got out and started firing a weapon, with police returning fire.
New Orleans mayor said the incident was a โ€œterrorist attackโ€.

  1. Aljazeera blatantly lying in this report!!!!!!

    Just went to the fbi website to fact check and the fbi themselves confirm that an ISIS flag was retrieved from the scene and the now dead perpetrator was identified as a male with an Islamic name. Interesting details to miss๐Ÿ˜‚

  2. So, because innocent people are being murdered in Palestine, you're going to murder innocent people in the US? What did you accomplish by murdering innocent people? What did these innocent people have to do with anything?

  3. Just when the world is waking up and see who the real oppressor is, then all these attacks appear. How convenient. Incite hatred and scaremonger the public again a la 9 eleven. The german attack's perpetrator is an atheist who support AFD but the public still blames on the muslim.

  4. Y'all Yankees are just too much to handle, fragile and just up there. You think your lives are very precious than others. When an incident occurs on you, you scream and shout like the world only revolves around east and west coast of that Sodom and Gomorrah you call a country. For y'all information, we the rest of the world don't care, and some of us think every now and then you should test some of the tacos you sell.

  5. Unfortunately, it is very easy to deceive people. Because the same scenario is always used. They enable ISIS to carry out these attacks in order to create anti-Islamic sentiment in the world and prevent Trump from withdrawing from Syria. We are tired of this scenario. Obama and Israel founded ISIS. And they use this terrorist organization when it suits them.

  6. Ooh! I'm ascared, Norton! How come when Trump was shot at in Butler Pa, the FBI yawned and scratched their butts and took a cigarette break before saying Matthew Crooks definitely acted alone? Even after Crooks Dad told reporters his son was speaking to someone. ?

  8. What a lie of information. You guys leave out so much information. It's actually kind of sickening. Why don't you state the true facts and tell the truth for what it really is. It was not a vehicle ramming it was a terrorism attack with a man who had an ice's flag on the back of his vehicle.

  9. A similar attempt happened a couple of years ago in coimbatore India where a car full of explosives blasted but no mishap happened because it exploded before its destination. The driver named some Jameesha Mubin died. Our Tamil news channel initially called it a car cylinder blast later they called it a car bomb blast.
