The city of New Orleans has faced challenges in the past, including high levels of violence. However, the chief of the New Orleans Police Department, Anne E. Kirkpatrick, remains confident that the city will overcome the latest blow delivered by the recent attack on Bourbon Street.
Kirkpatrick expressed her belief in the resilience of the city, stating, 'This city has been tried by fire before, but fire purifies. Fire makes things stronger. We have a plan. We know what to do. We are going to get these people. There is a path forward.'
