A rented pickup truck plowed into a crowd on Bourbon Street in New Orleans on New Year's Day, leaving 15 dead and dozens injured. The driver, identified as Shamsud-Din Jabbar, was killed by police after opening fire. The FBI is investigating the incident as a possible terror attack.

Aymond and 600 worshipers struggled to make sense of the death and carnage perpetrated by a man who drove a pickup truck into a dense crowd of early-morning New Year's revelers just five blocks away on Bourbon Street. Police said 15 people died and more than three dozen others were injured, many seriously, when a white Ford F-150 Lightning electric truck, rented by 42-year-old Shamsud-Din Jabbar of Texas, plowed into the crowd walking along the French Quarter's most famous partying street at 3:15 a.m. Jan. 1. At nighttime, Bourbon Street becomes a pedestrian thoroughfare that is designed to protect visitors from vehicular traffic through the installation of removable steel pylons at key intersections. Somehow, however, the pylons were not in place and Jabbar was able to race his truck through the crowd. Nearly three blocks after his rampage began, Jabbar ran into a construction crane, stopping his forward progress. He opened fire on police, wounding two, before he was shot to death by officers, authorities said. The FBI said it was investigating the crime as a terror attack -- Jabbar had an ISIS flag in his truck -- and was investigating possible associations with terrorist groups. Speaking from St. Louis Cathedral in the 600 block of Chartres Street -- five blocks from the end of the rampage -- Archbishop Aymond said the dawn of a new year always brings with it uncertainty because no one has been able'to create a future 'app' to tell us exactly what will happen from day to day in our live
