The FBI is investigating a deadly New Year's attack in New Orleans, where Shamsud-Din Jabbar drove a truck into a crowd, killing 14 people. Authorities said the 42-year-old army veteran acted alone, inspired by ISIS. The attack, which took place on Bourbon Street, was premeditated, with Jabbar posting pro-ISIS videos before the incident. He also left behind two IEDs, though they did not detonate. The investigation is focusing on any ISIS affiliation or support Jabbar may have had. Jabbar, who converted to Islam, was shot after crashing the truck and opening fire on police.
