Ive seen other reports that say SUV .

Yeah not sure why reports keep saying SUV - the pictures show a white pickup

I guess it depends on political intention. It's probably too early to call it terrorism barring new information.

One tv military analyst said the improvised devices if set to explode after person is stopped makes it a 3 level attack ( truck, guns, capture, explosion ) can be considered terrorism

As stated above the hotel evacuation

So fluid. In any event, this puts it in more of a personal vehicle type situation I would think, huh? As opposed to, like I said, a commercial truck.

 

[Madmarsha]

I envy you in this regard.

Oh, I'll be subjected sooner or later. I'm glued to the info right now.

Though, to be honest, I feel like some of the local stuff I'm hearing is a little "behind" what may be being reported elsewhere.

ETA: I was on CBS. I just turned to Fox 8.

They keep showing an Earth Cam shot of a police-manned cordoned off area on Bourbon. Only thing I can identify is a Krazy Corner Balcony sign which is 640 Bourbon.

I am now going crazy trying to monitor all the local stations.

Got a call at 5:00 am this morning that my brother was one of the police officers shot. He’s in surgery now….

I'm hoping for the best for your brother. Very sorry to learn of this.

Oh, wow. Sending prayers.

What I know so far is he was hit in the leg. Was wearing his vest so thankful for that. I’ll know more when he gets out of surgery

His wife just texted me. He’s was shot in the upper thigh and in the top part of his vest that bruised his shoulder pretty bad

Is he at LCMC?

Travers Mackel is interpreting Cantrell's remarks as meaning domestic terrorism.

NOPD's "special ops" bomb squad unit just arriving at FQ. FBI is the "lead"

Just remembered I've stayed at Royal Sonesta on NYE about 20 years ago. I loved the fireworks on the dueling barges on the river accompanied by the band standing on the railing near JAX Brewery. That was a great experience.


ETA: Just a little light thought here. It is so weird seeing twins Fletcher and Travers on split screen.

I guess I'm in the minority here but I automatically assumed domestic terrorism. With the number of mass shootings in this country, when I hear about terrorism on American soil I automatically think domestic.
