The FBI and U.S. Department of Homeland Security (DHS) have issued a warning to law enforcement agencies across the country regarding potential copycat attacks in the wake of the ISIS-inspired incident on New Year's Day in New Orleans. The attack resulted in the tragic loss of 14 lives and left dozens injured.
Approximately 18,000 law enforcement agencies, including local police and sheriff's departments, received a public service announcement from the federal agencies. The alert emphasized the public safety threat posed by violent extremists and urged those in uniform to remain vigilant for potential copycat attacks.
