The former US army soldier who carried out the New Orleans truck attack that killed 14 victims – and injured dozens more – on New Year’s Day has left a fellow veteran of that military branch fighting to “regain his ability to walk”, according to supporters of the wounded service member.
Before joining other revelers on the city’s famous Bourbon Street to celebrate the start of 2025, Adam Coste had spent more than 12 years in the US army as an infantry company commander and headquarters company commander while serving on multiple combat deployments, according to information posted on a verified GoFundMe campaign established for him.
