FBI: How New Orleans Terrorist Attack Unfolded on Bourbon Street on New Year’s Day

On New Year’s Day, at approximately 3:15 a.m. CST, an individual drove a pickup truck into a crowd of people on Bourbon Street in New Orleans, killing at least 15 and injuring dozens of others.

After hitting the crowd, he exited the vehicle and fired upon local law enforcement. Law enforcement returned fire, and the subject was pronounced deceased at the scene.

Two law enforcement officers were injured and transported to a local hospital. 

The subject has been identified as 42-year-old Shamsud-Din Jabbar, a U.S. citizen from Texas. He was driving a Ford pickup truck, which appears to have been rented, and we are working to confirm how the subject came into possession of the vehicle.

An ISIS flag was located in the vehicle, and the FBI is working to determine the subject’s potential associations and affiliations with terrorist organizations. 

Weapons and a potential IED were located in the subject’s vehicle. Other potential IEDs were also located in the French Quarter. The FBI’s special agent bomb technicians are working with our law enforcement partners to determine if any of these devices are viable, and they will work to render those devices safe. 

The FBI is the lead investigative agency and is working with partners to investigate this as an act of terrorism.

“We are aggressively running down all leads to identify any possible associates of the subject,” stated the bureau on Wednesday.

The FBI has set up a digital tip line, and “we ask anyone with information or video of the incident to submit them” to www.fbi.gov/bourbonstreetattack or call 1-800-CALL-FBI.
