Authorities say a driver wrought carnage on New Orleans’ famed French Quarter early on New Year’s Day, killing 15 people as he rammed a pickup truck into a crowd before being shot to death by police. Dozens of people were injured when Wednesday’s attack turned festive Bourbon Street into macabre mayhem. The FBI is investigating it as an act of terrorism. Authorities are looking into whether other people may have been involved. The FBI identified the driver as 42-year-old Shamsud-Din Bahar Jabbar, a U.S. citizen and Army veteran from Texas.
