The suspect who drove into crowds in New Orleans this morning was killed after a firefight with police, law enforcement officials have told the AP news agency.
Ten people died during the incident and at least 35 people were injured following the incident at approximately 3.15am this morning (9.15am UK time).
The FBI has said it is investigating the attack as an "act of terrorism".

I'm not so sure I'd be too quick to accept this as the explanation as the final answer. First, we need to make sure those feds who took over the investigation didn't have a bunch of ISIS stickers in their back pockets and fake IED's in their trunk...to make it look (conveniently) like it was a Muslim terrorist, when in fact it may have been some angry liberal anarchist fuming over the recent election! Pretty sad to see how far our leading law enforcement agency in the World has fallen in terms of trust by the American people!

They are saying it is not a terrorist event but there were some IED's found. Not much else reported so far.
That was very weird press conference because the Mayor said it was a Terrorist attack, then 5 minutes later when that FBI lady came on and said it wasn't a Terrorist attack. I rewound her words a few times cause I thought she might have said "tourist" since they were talking about how many tourists vs locals were hurt and killed, but she indeed said not a Terrorist attack.
Sure sounds like a Terrorist attack though. Killed 10, about 40 injured, shot 2 cops and then numerous IEDs found. What else would you call that and i don't care about "official definitions" this is a Terrorist attack, the people in New Orleans are gonna be scared to go the Sugar Bowl today and I'm not sure if they are having a parade?
Could be more attacks and who knows where more IEDs are hidden?

or were ordered by the current admin to cover sh@@ up, so they don't look as screwed up as we all know they are.
Fox News just mentioned the vehicle went through Eagle Pass crossing two days ago. This by vehicle tag reader. Driver not verified in that crossing yet. Could be international.

Anyone seen a pic with that flag visible? Every pic I can find shows it like it's rolled up. Almost looks like the "authorities" don't want us seeing it.
Gotta be some cell pics out there
Oh, and happy freaking new year. Great start to it.
