The Sugar Bowl college football game between Notre Dame and the University of Georgia was postponed Wednesday and rescheduled for Thursday after the truck attack on Bourbon Street. The truck quickly turns onto Bourbon Street, appearing to maneuver around a patrol vehicle with its lights flashing. Lying in her hotel room above Bourbon Street, April McGee thought the sound of chaos below was fireworks, she told WDSU. In New Orleans, officials urged tourists to carry on, to enjoy the city but to steer clear of Bourbon Street.

CNN —Two people were killed and 10 others were injured in two shootings during a popular New Orleans second-line parade on Sunday, according to the New Orleans Police Department. They are 45 minutes apart from each other,” Superintendent Anne Kirkpatrick said during a Sunday evening news conference. “Approximately 45 minutes later, up on the bridge, we did have another outbreak of gunfire,” Kirkpatrick said. Police say it is still unclear whether the shootings are related because they occurred 45 minutes apart. The term “second line” refers to the people who follow the main brass band procession, the “first line.”“It’s a wonderful event … and we wanted to keep it a wonderful event,” she said.
