'TERRORISM': 'ATTACKER DECEASED' AFTER GUNFIGHT

A man "hellbent" on "carnage" slammed a pickup truck into a crowd of New Year revellers in New Orleans yesterday, killing at least 10 people and injuring more than 35 in an attack authorities said they were investigating as terrorism.

The man, who initially fled after exchanging gunfire with police, "is now deceased," the FBI said, without giving details.

Local police said the incident took place at around 3:15 a.m. in the heart of the city's famous French Quarter, which was packed with people celebrating the start of 2025.

"This man was trying to run over as many people as he possibly could," Police Superintendent Anne Kirkpatrick said. "He was hellbent on creating the carnage and the damage that he did."
