Authorities in New Orleans held another press conference Sunday morning to provide updates regarding the ongoing investigation into the New Year’s Day attack on Bourbon Street.
Louisiana Governor Jeff Landry spoke first, largely focusing on each of the 14 victims, who he identified by name. Landry noted that he has issued an executive order establishing a separate day of mourning for each of the victims.
FBI Deputy Assistant Director Christopher Raia also spoke, affirming that protecting the American People from terrorism — be it international, domestic, or state-sponsored — remains the Bureau’s number one priority. He also affirmed that all of the information gathered thus far points to the suspect, Shamsud-Din Jabbar, having acted alone and noted the challenges of identifying and disrupting lone wolf attacks.
