At least 10 people were killed and 35 were injured after a vehicle drove into a crowd in New Orleans’ French Quarter on New Year’s Day.
The suspect is dead.
The incident occurred around 3:15 a.m. at Bourbon and Iberville streets near the end of New Year’s celebrations and hours before the AllState Sugar Bowl at the Caesars Superdome.
The suspect fired on officers, injuring two of them after crashing the vehicle. The two officers are reported to be in stable condition. The FBI is leading the investigation. The FBI says its investigating attack as “act of terrorism.”
All of those have “law enforcement” as their source for the identity.
I’m with @[email protected] on this one.
By law enforcement, they mean an FBI press statement. But if that’s not good enough for you…

Early reporting on the Oklahoma City bombing was pointing fingers at Muslims, too.
If you don’t accept what any law enforcement says, even though they have his body and ID, you could have just said so and there would have been no reason to respond to you.
First of all, there is no telling if he is Muslim. Secondly, the FBI tends to have more than one piece of evidence before making such a statement. But, by all means wait.
I’m not going to apologize for not trusting law enforcement.
I don’t care. I think it’s always good to have a bit of skepticism, but when facts slap you in the face you should realize it. Some times not everyone feels it.
Your responses suggest otherwise.
