Об этом пишет CNN со ссылкой на местные власти. Ранее сообщалось о десяти погибших.
Власти также установили личность подозреваемого в преступлении — это 42-летний ветеран армии США Шамсуд-Дин Джаббар из Техаса.
В новогоднюю ночь он на автомобиле въехал в толпу людей на Бурбон-стрит во Французском квартале в центре города. Затем преступник вышел из машины и открыл огонь по прохожим. В ходе перестрелки с полицией он погиб. ФБР расследует массовое убийство в Новом Орлеане как теракт.
