Death Toll Rises To 15 In U.S. New Orleans Truck Attack
The death toll rose to 15 after a man drove a pickup truck into New Year revelers in New Orleans of the southern U.S. state of Louisiana early Wednesday morning, authorities updated at a press conference.
Two improvised explosive devices were confirmed to have been found in the pickup, according to the Federal Bureau of Investigation.
Officials said they were hunting for possible connections to terrorist organizations and the suspect, who was shot dead by responding police on the scene, may not be “solely responsible” for the attack.
As earlier reported, a school bus ran into a crowd of students at the gate of a middle school in Tai’an City in east China’s Shandong Province on Tuesday morning (September 3) resulting in approximately a dozen casualties, according to local authorities of Dongping County.
