United States President Joe Biden says the incident that occurred in New Orleans on Wednesday morning is currently being investigated.
Urban Express News Online recalls that at least ten people were killed after a vehicle drove into a large crowd in New Orleans, a city in Louisiana, United States on New Year’s Day.
The incident was said to have occurred in the French Quarter, a popular tourist area, when a car sped down Bourbon Street.
Reacting, Biden in a post on his official X handle, said the “FBI is taking the lead in investigation” describing the incident as an “act of terrorism”.
“I will continue to receive updates throughout the day, and I will have more to say as we have further information to share.
“My heart goes out to the victims and their families who were simply trying to celebrate the holiday.
“There is no justification for violence of any kind, and we will not tolerate any attack on any of our nation’s communities,” Biden added.
