NEW YEAR'S EVE TERRORIST ATTACK, NEW ORLEANS
At least 10 people were killed and dozens injured after a terrorist rammed a truck into crowds on the famed Bourbon Street in New Orleans before jumping out and shooting cops — just hours after the city rang in the New Year, according to officials. “The city of New Orleans was impacted by a terrorist attack,” Mayor LaToya Cantrell said of the carnage early Wednesday — with the FBI soon confirming it was investigating it as “an act of terrorism.” The unidentified driver, who police said was “hellbent” on “carnage,” was shot and killed in a gun battle with cops, confirmed the FBI, which was also investigating possibly improvised explosives left at the scene. Two cops shot in the gun battle were listed in stable condition, police said. MORE AT New Orleans French Quarter driver rams car into crowd of people on Bourbon Street, killing at least 10
