In the wake of the attack, the FBI has launched an extensive investigation to uncover the motivations behind Jabbar's actions.

President Biden's remarks highlighted the nation's mourning for New Orleans and its residents affected by the tragedy. He reassured the public that the government is committed to upholding safety and security measures. The President also acknowledged New Orleans' resilience, stressing its uniqueness and strong community spirit, promising that the city will recover and heal from this senseless violence.

In a special report broadcasted by CBS News, President Biden addressed the nation regarding a horrific truck attack that occurred early this morning on Bourbon Street in New Orleans. The suspect, identified as 42-year-old Shamsud-Din Jabbar, drove through barriers, ramming into a crowd, which led to police intervention and his eventual shooting. During his remarks, which followed closely after the attack, President Biden extended his condolences to the victims' families and assured them that the nation stands in solidarity with New Orleans. The FBI is actively investigating the incident, which they have classified as a terror attack, with ongoing searches at the suspect's residence in Texas and the rental property he was using in New Orleans. Hours before the attack, Jabbar reportedly posted videos on social media expressing his radicalization and inspiration from ISIS, leading to the discovery of an ISIS flag and explosives in his vehicle. President Biden emphasized that securing the public remains a top priority and urged law enforcement to exhaust every resource addressing this despicable event. As investigations into the attack continue, there are emerging concerns regarding a possible connection to an explosion involving a Tesla Cybertruck near the Trump International Hotel in Las Vegas. While the FBI is looking into this incident as well, no links have been confirmed as of yet. The President expressed a commitment to updating the public as new information becomes available. As New Orleans grapples with the aftermath of this tragedy, he underscored the city's spirit of resilience and charm that will undoubtedly shine despite the heinous assault.
