Four senior law enforcement officials briefed on the matter say they have preliminarily identified the suspect in the vehicle ramming attack in New Orleans as Shamsud Din Jabbar, 42. Din Jabbar, 42, is accused of intentionally plowing a pickup truck into New Year’s revelers at about 3:15 a.m. on Bourbon Street, authorities said. Ten people were killed and at least 35 more were injured, Anne Kirkpatrick, New Orleans Police Department superintendent, told reporters Wednesday morning. Officials are working to determine more information about his background and potential travel history. Federal officials and local law enforcement in New Orleans are investigating if Din Jabbar used a long-gun rifle and fired it into the crowd as he ran people over, three senior law enforcement officials briefed on the investigation told NBC News.
