The FBI are investigating this morning’s (Jun. 01) deadly attack in New Orleans as an “act of terrorism” as they confirm the suspect is dead.
Ten people were killed and at least 35 injured after a man drove a pick-up truck into a large crowd.
The incident occurred at approximately 03:15 local time (09:15 GMT) in the French Quarter – an area popular with visitors to the city.
Police say the driver was “hell-bent on creating the carnage he did” and also opened fire on officers.
In an earlier press conference, the FBI had said an improvised explosive device was found at the scene and agents are assessing its viability.
