A fatal terror attack in New Orleans early on New Year’s Day claimed the lives of 15 people and left more than two dozen others injured. Airlines have been trying to accommodate affected customers during a busier-than-usual travel period for the city.
“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 10 and injuring dozens of others,” the Federal Bureau of Investigations said in an initial statement on the incident. After hitting the crowd, he exited the vehicle and fired upon local law enforcement. Law enforcement returned fire, and the subject was pronounced dead at the scene
In addition to New Year’s Eve festivities, a surge of tourists were expected to be in town for the Sugar Bowl, a college football playoff game between the University of Georgia and the University of Notre Dame. After the attack, the game was pushed back one day. Delta, for instance, said it was delaying a number of specially scheduled flights in response by the same amount of time.
