Heartbroken family and friends moved to identify the growing number of victims after a terrorist suspect plowed a car into a large crowd in New Orleans on New Year's.
The suspect, Shamsud-Din Jabbar, was "hell-bent on creating the carnage and damage that he did," New Orleans police chief Anne Kirkpatrick said.
"It was very intentional behavior," the superintendent of police said. "This man was trying to run over as many people as he possibly could." At least 15 people were killed in the Wednesday morning suspected terrorist attack, and dozens others injured, the FBI said.

DOVER, Del.—It was her last day in session as a Delaware state senator, and Sarah McBride sat in her tiny office at the state Capitol, preparing farewell remarks.
She had made history here, as the first openly transgender state senator in the country. Now she was making history again, recently elected as the first openly transgender member of Congress.
Her political promotion has come during a reckoning for transgender rights, when legislation in Republican-governed states around the country aims to curb their advance. During an election where a deluge of campaign ads and politicians demeaned trans people, McBride still easily won her blue state’s only seat in the U.S. House of Representatives.
Authorities are investigating the Tesla Cybertruck explosion that occurred outside Trump Las Vegas hotel Wednesday as a possible act of terror, The Post has learned.
Wild surveillance footage shared on social media shows the electric pickup truck suddenly burst into flames, blowing the vehicle to smithereens around 8:40 a.m. local time. Shattered glass, metal paneling, and other debris could be seen flying in all directions.
A plume of eerie smoke then engulfed the outside of the hotel while the Cybertruck was left as a fiery wreck. (Photos) Officials said at least seven bystanders suffered minor injuries in the explosion and the driver, who pulled the truck into the valet area
In the wake of the deadly New Year’s Day attack in New Orleans, Louisiana’s attorney general said she hoped the Sugar Bowl would get delayed an extra day.
The College Football Playoff game between Georgia and Notre Dame was originally scheduled for Wednesday but was pushed back one day after at least 15 people were killed — including a former Princeton football star — after a truck plowed through Bourbon Street as revelers celebrated at around 3:15 a.m.
Louisiana Attorney General Liz Murrill told “NBC Nightly News with Lester Holt” on Wednesday night that she would have preferred the football game get delayed at least until Friday.
Authorities are investigating a Tesla Cybertruck explosion on Wednesday outside the Trump Las Vegas hotel in Nevada as a possible act of terror, law enforcement officials said.
Sheriff Kevin McMahill of the Las Vegas Metropolitan Police Department told reporters that investigators were looking into any possible connections to the deadly attack in New Orleans earlier Wednesday but had not yet discovered any. The driver of the Cybertruck pulled into the valet area of the hotel and the vehicle exploded, according to an official. The driver was killed and, so far, is the only fatality from the incident. Seven bystanders had minor injuries, authorities said.

No one in America expected to wake up to the news that not just one but possibly even two terrorist attacks had taken place on New Year's Day on American soil, with the Bourbon Street (New Orleans) street massacre happening in the overnight hours and the Tesla Cybertruck explosion in front of the Trump International Hotel in Las Vegas occurring just before 9 am local time.

A former Princeton football player was killed in the deadly truck attack in New Orleans as revelers rang in 2025 in the early hours of Wednesday morning.
Tiger Bech, an All-Ivy League kick returner who played for Princeton from 2016-18, was one of at least 10 people who died in the attack on Bourbon Street, according to multiple reports and a post from his younger brother Jack.
He was 27.

Police have released a series of photographs from inside the Cybertruck which blew up outside Trump International Hotel in Las Vegas, revealing an arsenal of makeshift explosives.
The driver of the Elon Musk-owned Tesla Cybertruck, who has not yet been formally identified, died in the explosion and seven members of the public were injured.
Charred fireworks, gas cannisters and camping fuel were found in the bed of the truck when authorities were finally able to put out the fire.
On Tuesday afternoon, to celebrate the end of 2024, the DNC official account put out a collage of four photos of President Joe Biden and Vice President Kamala Harris to commemorate "Some of our favorite moments from 2024."

Among the photos included Biden during his February appearance on "Late Night with Seth Meyers," a picture of Harris and Second Gentleman Doug Emhoff, Biden with Olympians, and Harris taking to a stage with the words "TRUST WOMEN," clearly in the background, no doubt a reference to abortion.

Protective barriers intended to prevent terrorist attacks along New Orleans’ Bourbon Street were being replaced and were not set up when a truck fatally plowed into New Year’s revelers early Wednesday.
The stainless-steel bollards were removed in November as part of an overhaul of the security system, Nola.com reported.That overhaul was due to take three months, and was brought on by what French Quarter Management District head Bob Simms called an “ineffective” old system.

In the wake of the devastating New Year’s Day attack on Bourbon Street in New Orleans, FBI agents have executed a raid on the Houston residence of the suspect, 42-year-old Shamsud-Din Jabbar.
Drone footage from the operation captures a man outside the property with his hands raised in surrender.
Jabbar, a U.S. Army veteran from Texas, was identified as the individual who drove a pickup truck into a crowd of revelers on Bourbon Street, resulting in at least 15 fatalities and numerous injuries.
Additionally, the Cybertruck was rented through the app Turo — the same company
Investigators are searching for additional suspects connected to the New Orleans terror attack that left at least ten dead and 35 more injured in the early hours of New Year’s Day, the FBI announced Wednesday afternoon.
The deceased suspect who carried out the fatal truck-ramming attack has been identified as 42-year-old Shamsud-Din Jabbar.
“We do not believe that Jabbar was solely responsible,” Alethea Duncan, New Orleans FBI assistant special agent in charge, told reporters. “We are aggressively running down every lead, including those of his known associates.”
As President Joe Biden concludes his final year in office and prepares to hand the reins over to Donald Trump, he leaves behind an increasingly unstable world stage.
Tensions in Europe, the Middle East and East Asia have only increased towards the end of 2024, with U.S. adversaries making big moves as Biden quietly fades from the world stage. As Trump takes office, foreign policy fires he will have to contend with include the years-long war in Ukraine, the Israel-Hamas War, the freshly-ignited Syrian civil war and an increasingly aggressive China that’s hellbent on solidifying its position as the U.S.’ greatest adversary, economically and militarily.

Perhaps the real message of last November’s election is not that Donald Trump won, but that woke progressivism lost. After all, though Trump has flaws, he at least lives in the real world and not in some ideological fantasy. It is also fairly likely that, in the four years since he left office, he has improved his presidential abilities. For example: He is less likely to be so easily goaded into overreacting to his critics… also known as taking the bait.
Meanwhile, the spoiled children of the Left are running around convinced that their hair is on fire. Some are digging foxholes while others are drifting towards the center.
While initial reports regarding the explosion of a Tesla cybertruck in front of the Trump International Hotel in Las Vegas, Nevada, Wednesday morning left open the possibility that the incident was a malfunction with the vehicle itself, it appears we can now rule that out.
Not only have officials confirmed they're investigating the incident as a possible act of terror, but Elon Musk has confirmed his team's diagnostics indicate all systems on the truck checked out prior to the explosion, and it appears the explosion was caused by fireworks and/or a bomb.

Authorities are treating Wednesday morning’s Tesla Cybertruck explosion outside Trump International Hotel Las Vegas as a possible act of terrorism.
Before it exploded, the all-electric Cybertruck was parked in the valet area outside the Las Vegas hotel. The vehicle had apparently been loaded with fireworks, as security footage circulating on social media seems to indicate. The fire was extinguished and the public was told to avoid the area.
One unidentified person who remained inside the vehicle was confirmed dead, according to media reports.

Climate change is making plants less nutritious − that could already be hurting animals that are grazers
More than one-third of all animals on Earth, from beetles to cows to elephants, depend on plant-based diets. Plants are a low-calorie food source, so it can be challenging for animals to consume enough energy to meet their needs. Now climate change is reducing the nutritional value of some foods that plant eaters rely on.
Human activities are increasing atmospheric carbon dioxide levels and raising global temperatures. As a result, many plants are growing faster across ecosystems worldwide.
