FBI releases timeline of suspect Shamsud-Dim Jabbar's New Orleans attack
The New Year's Day attack left 14 people killed and 35 others injured.
In the wake of the deadly car-ramming attack on New Orleans' bustling Bourbon Street, federal investigators have released a timeline of events surrounding the New Year's Day incident.
Fourteen people were killed and 35 others were injured after a Ford F-150 truck plowed into pedestrians and gunfire erupted in the early hours of Wednesday morning.
During a press briefing on Thursday, the FBI's deputy assistant director for the counterterrorism division, Christopher Raia, noted that while the investigation into the attack is in its early stages, investigators believe the suspect, 42-year-old Shamsud-Dim Jabbar, acted alone.
Jabbar, a Texas resident who FBI officials said proclaimed his support for the terror group ISIS in social media posts ahead of the attack, was killed in gunfire exchanged with New Orleans police.
Additionally, an ISIS flag was recovered by authorities from the back of Jabbar's rented pickup truck following the rampage.
