Following the deadly attack during New Year's celebrations in the French Quarter of New Orleans, investigators are diligently scouring Bourbon Street for clues to aid in their investigation. The street, famous for its vibrant nightlife, may remain a crime scene closed off for the next 48 hours, as stated by Helena Moreno, President of the New Orleans City Council.
Moreno emphasized the need for thorough processing of the scene, indicating that the closure is necessary for the investigation to progress effectively. City leaders are actively engaged in discussions to ensure the safety of both locals and tourists in the French Quarter.
Various security measures are being considered, including the possibility of deploying sand trucks, concrete barriers, and enhancing surveillance in the area. Moreno highlighted the importance of bolstering security measures in preparation for the upcoming Super Bowl scheduled to take place in New Orleans next month.
She urged for a significant increase in security protocols for the event, emphasizing the need to strengthen existing safety plans. Moreno's call to action reflects the city's commitment to enhancing public safety and ensuring a secure environment for all attendees of the upcoming Super Bowl.
