嫌疑犯在一个致命攻击在新年狂欢者中新奥尔良据美国联邦调查局称，这名男子名叫沙姆苏德·丁·贾巴尔，现年42岁，出生于美国，是得克萨斯州的美国退伍军人。
一名高级官员告诉ABC新闻，当局目前认为贾巴尔在过去几年里变得激进——激进化可能因以色列-哈马斯战争而加剧。
多个执法部门消息人士和路易斯安那州众议员特洛伊·卡特告诉美国广播公司新闻，周三早上，一名男子驾驶一辆福特皮卡在波旁街高速穿过人群，造成至少15人死亡，20多人受伤。
在卡车拖车挂钩的杆子上发现一面“伊斯兰国”国旗后，当局正在努力确定死亡嫌疑人是否与恐怖组织有任何联系。
周三晚上，乔·拜登总统在戴维营向全国发表讲话时说，“美国联邦调查局也向我报告说，就在袭击发生前几个小时，他在社交媒体上发布了视频，表明他受到“伊斯兰国”的启发，表达了杀人的欲望。”
拜登说:“在他租来进行这次袭击的车上发现了“伊斯兰国”国旗。”。"在车上也发现了可能的爆炸物，附近还发现了更多的爆炸物."
然而，他警告说，“情况非常不稳定，调查仍处于初步阶段。”
一心想制造大屠杀
听取了事件简报的执法官员告诉ABC新闻，在穿过三个街区的人群后，嫌疑人据称挥舞着一支突击步枪从卡车上下来，并向警察开火。
警方称，警察开枪还击，击毙了嫌疑人。当局称，至少有两名警察中弹受伤。
新奥尔良警察局长安妮·柯克帕特里克在周三下午的新闻发布会上说，“这名男子试图尽可能多地撞倒人。”。
她说，司机“不顾一切地制造大屠杀和他所造成的破坏。”
据领导调查的美国联邦调查局称，在嫌疑人的车上发现了武器和潜在的简易爆炸装置，其他潜在的简易爆炸装置位于法国区。美国联邦调查局说，到目前为止，已经发现了两个简易爆炸装置，并保证了安全。
执法人员告诉ABC新闻，调查人员在波旁街袭击现场发现了自制的管状炸弹。消息人士称，这些简陋的装置包括线圈和钉子。消息人士称，当局还发现了一枚手榴弹，这是进行生存能力测试的物品之一。
据了解调查情况的消息人士告诉ABC新闻，除了突击步枪，贾巴尔据称还配有一把手枪。
新奥尔良市长拉托亚·坎特雷尔将这起可怕的事件描述为“恐怖袭击”，美国联邦调查局表示，正在将它作为恐怖行为进行调查。
据信不是单独行动
据美国联邦调查局称，该嫌疑人据信不是此次袭击的“唯一责任人”，并表示正在追查线索，以确定他的任何同伙。
“还有其他潜在的嫌疑人，”新奥尔良市议会主席海伦娜·莫雷诺周三说。“因此，在这一点上，我们确实需要多部门的努力，以确定任何可能与这一特定事件有关的人，并确保正义得到伸张，这些人立即被抓住并成为目标。”
执法部门消息人士周三早些时候告诉美国广播公司新闻，新奥尔良警方已经审查了监控视频，视频显示几个人在车辆撞击之前埋下了潜在的爆炸装置，导致美国联邦调查局得出结论，这辆皮卡车的司机在袭击中不是单独行动的。
联邦当局表示，截至周三晚上，出现在一个与被认为埋有潜在爆炸装置的地区相关的视频中的个人被视为无关的路人，尽管调查仍在进行中。
消息人士称，调查人员正在紧急工作，以确定任何出现在潜在相关领域摄像头上的个人，并将拘留任何潜在的相关人员。
莫雷诺说:“所有人都在甲板上寻找与此事有任何牵连的其他人。”。
拜登在周三晚上的讲话中证实，执法部门正在继续调查任何“联系、关联或同谋”

在军队服役
一位陆军发言人向美国广播公司新闻证实，贾巴尔在2007年至2015年期间在陆军担任人力资源和信息技术职务，在此期间，他于2009年2月至2010年1月被部署到阿富汗。发言人说，他在2015年至2020年期间继续担任陆军预备役的IT专家。他所列的工作并不是直接的战斗角色。
美国联邦调查局称，尽管调查人员仍在调查贾巴尔的服役记录，但据信他已经光荣退伍。
根据海军发言人的说法，嫌疑人早在2024年8月就加入了海军，但他从未去过新兵训练营，一个月后就从延迟入学计划中退伍了。
在2020年发布的YouTube视频中，贾巴尔说他在德克萨斯州的博蒙特出生和长大，在成为休斯顿地区的房地产经纪人之前，他在美国军队工作了十年。贾巴尔在视频中说，他在军队的几年是作为人力资源和信息技术专家度过的，该视频已从YouTube上删除。
据得克萨斯州副州长丹·帕特里克说，嫌疑人一直住在休斯顿地区。美国联邦调查局·休斯顿周三下午表示，美国联邦调查局和哈里斯县警长办公室当局正在休斯顿北部的一个地区“开展执法活动”，与新奥尔良袭击事件有关。
使用Turo租赁用于攻击的卡车
据卡特说，袭击中使用的卡车有德克萨斯州的牌照。
该车辆似乎是一辆福特F-150 Lightning电动车。据卡车车主Rodrigo Diaz称，这辆卡车似乎是通过一家汽车共享公司Turo app租用的。
迪亚兹告诉美国广播公司新闻，他通过应用程序将卡车租给了一个人，目前正在与美国联邦调查局交谈。他拒绝进一步置评。
迪亚兹的妻子多拉·迪亚兹告诉美国广播公司新闻，她和她的丈夫对这一事件感到震惊。
“我丈夫通过Turo应用程序租车。我不能告诉你别的。我和我的孩子在这里，这是毁灭性的，”多拉·迪亚兹说。
ABC新闻联系到了图罗。
据帕特里克说，嫌疑人周一租了这辆卡车。
“我们了解到他在前往新奥尔良之前在休斯顿驾驶租来的卡车，”帕特里克说。
What we know about Shamsud-Din Jabbar, the suspect in the New Orleans attack
The suspect in adeadly attackon New Year's revelers inNew Orleanshas been identified as Shamsud-Din Jabbar, a 42-year-old U.S.-born citizen and U.S. Army veteran from Texas, according to the FBI.
A senior official told ABC News that authorities currently believe Jabbar was radicalized in the last few years — and that radicalization may have been exacerbated by the Israel-Hamas war.
At least 15 people were killed and over two dozen injured after a man drove a Ford pickup truck through a crowd on Bourbon Street at a high rate of speed early Wednesday, multiple law enforcement sources and Louisiana Rep. Troy Carter told ABC News.
Authorities are working to determine whether the deceased suspect had any affiliation with terrorist organizations after an ISIS flag was found on a pole on the truck's trailer hitch.
Addressing the nation from Camp David on Wednesday evening, President Joe Biden said, "The FBI also reported to me that mere hours before the attack, he posted videos on social media indicating that he's inspired by ISIS, expressing a desire to kill."
"The ISIS flag was found in his vehicle, which he rented to conduct this attack," Biden said. "Possible explosives were found in the vehicle as well, and more explosives were found nearby."
However, he cautioned, "The situation is very fluid and the investigation is in its preliminary stage."
'Hell-bent' on creating carnage
After barreling through the crowd over a three-block stretch, the suspect allegedly got out of the truck wielding an assault rifle and opened fire on police officers, law enforcement officials briefed on the incident told ABC News.
Officers returned fire, killing the suspect, police said. At least two police officers were shot and wounded, authorities said.
"This man was trying to run over as many people as he possibly could," New Orleans Police Chief Anne Kirkpatrick said at a press briefing on Wednesday afternoon.
She said the driver was "hell-bent on creating the carnage and the damage that he did."
Weapons and potential IEDs were located in the suspect's vehicle and other potential IEDs were located in the French Quarter, according to the FBI, which is leading the investigation.As of now, two IEDs have been found and rendered safe, the FBI said.
Investigators found homemade pipe bombs at the scene of the Bourbon Street attack, law enforcement sources told ABC News. The crude devices contained coils and nails, the sources said. Authorities also found a grenade, which is among the items tested for viability, sources said.
In addition to the assault rifle, Jabbar was allegedly armed with a handgun, sources with knowledge of the investigation told ABC News.
New Orleans Mayor LaToya Cantrell described the horrific incident as a "terrorist attack" and the FBI said it was being investigated as an act of terror.
Not believed to have acted alone
The suspect is not believed to be "solely responsible" for the attack, according to the FBI, which said it is pursuing leads to identify any of his associates.
"There are other potential suspects out there, as well," said New Orleans City Council President Helena Moreno on Wednesday. "So we do have really a multi-agency effort at this point to identify anyone else who may have had anything to do with this particular incident and make sure that justice does prevail and that these individuals are caught and targeted immediately."
New Orleans police have reviewed surveillance video that appears to show several people planting potential explosive devices in advance of the vehicle ramming, leading the FBI to conclude the driver of the pickup truck did not act alone in the attack, law enforcement sources told ABC News early Wednesday.
Individuals appearing in one such video relating to the area where potential explosive devices were thought to have been planted are being considered unrelated passersby as of Wednesday evening, federal authorities said, though the investigation remains ongoing.
Investigators are urgently working to identify any individuals appearing on camera in potentially related areas and will take any potential persons of interest into custody, sources said.
"It's all hands on deck to find anyone else who had any type of involvement on this," Moreno said.
In his remarks on Wednesday evening, Biden confirmed that the law enforcement community was continuing to investigate any "connections, associations or co-conspirators."
Additionally, Biden said, authorities were looking into any possible connection with theCybertruck explosion in Las Vegason Wednesday.
"Thus far there is nothing to report on that score," Biden said, adding that law enforcement was working to "ensure that there is no remaining threat to the American people."
The president added that, regardless of the suspect's actions or intent, "the spirit of our New Orleans will never, never, never be defeated."
Served in the Army
Jabbar served in human resources and information technology roles in the Army from 2007 to 2015, during which he deployed to Afghanistan from February 2009 to January 2010, an Army spokesperson confirmed to ABC News. He continued as an IT specialist in the Army Reserve from 2015 to 2020, the spokesperson said. His listed jobs were not direct combat roles.
Jabbar is believed to have been discharged honorably from the Army, though investigators are still looking into his military record, the FBI said.
The suspect had earlier enlisted in the Navy, in August 2024, though he never went to boot camp and was discharged from the delayed entry program one month later, according to a Navy spokesperson.
In a YouTube video posted in 2020, Jabbar says he was born and raised in Beaumont, Texas, and spent a decade working in the U.S. military before becoming a Realtor in the Houston area. His years in the military were spent working as a human resources and IT specialist, Jabbar says in the video, which has since been removed from YouTube.
The suspect has been living in the Houston area, according to Texas Lt. Gov. Dan Patrick. Authorities with the FBI and Harris County Sheriff's Office were "conducting law enforcement activity" in an area of north Houston in connection with the New Orleans attack, FBI Houston said Wednesday afternoon.
Used Turo to rent truck used in attack
The truck used in the attack had a Texas license plate, according to Carter.
The vehicle appeared to be a Ford F-150 Lightning, an electric vehicle. It appears the truck was rented through the Turo app -- a carsharing company, according to Rodrigo Diaz, the owner of the truck.
Diaz told ABC News he rented the truck to an individual through the app and is currently talking to the FBI. He declined further comment.
Diaz's wife, Dora Diaz, told ABC News that she and her husband are devastated by the incident.
"My husband rents cars through the Turo app. I can’t tell you anything else. I’m here with my kids, and this is devastating," Dora Diaz said.
ABC News has reached out to Turo.
The suspect rented the truck on Monday, according to Patrick.
"[We] have learned he was driving the rented truck in Houston before heading to New Orleans," Patrick said.
