More than a dozen people were killed and many others wounded in senseless vehicular attacks on New Year's Day. Both attacks were allegedly carried out by U.S. citizens. At least one, and possibly both, of the alleged attackers were Army veterans.
In New Orleans, 42-year-old Shamsud-Din Jabbar drove a rented Ford pickup truck into a crowd of people celebrating on Bourbon Street Wednesday morning. He killed 15 people and left dozens more injured. After driving through the crowd, Jabbar allegedly exited the truck wielding a rifle, shot at police officers, and was killed in return fire.
