A terrorist attack occurred in New Orleans on New Year's Eve, resulting in at least 10 deaths and over 35 injuries. The attacker used an electric truck to plow into a crowd during celebrations on Bourbon Street. Federal law enforcement sources told Fox News that the truck used in the attack crossed the U.S.-Mexico border at Eagle Pass, Texas, two days prior to the incident. The suspect, who was wearing military fatigues, was killed by police after a gunfight and may not have acted alone. The suspect's citizenship status has not yet been confirmed. The FBI is investigating the attack as an act of terrorism, and the first alleged photo of the suspect has surfaced.
