Deadly attack in New Orleans

This incident coincides with a deadly attack in New Orleans, where 15 people were killed and over 30 were injured after a vehicle drove into the crowd. The attacker, 42-year-old Shamsud-Din Jabbar, was fatally shot during the confrontation with the police. He was an Army veteran from Texas who was reportedly influenced by the extremist ISIS group.

 

In a separate incident, a Tesla Cybertruck exploded outside the Trump International Hotel in Las Vegas. The explosion resulted in one death and seven injuries, with authorities investigating the incident as a possible act of terrorism. Tesla CEO Elon Musk even suggested that the incident could be linked to the New Orleans terror attack.
