Two law enforcement officers were shot during the vehicular terror attack that killed 14 people Wednesday. The wounded officers are reportedly in stable condition.
The suspect, identified by law enforcement as 42-year-old Army veteran Shamsud-Din Jabbar, was killed in an exchange of fire with law enforcement. He reportedly made videos declaring his allegiance to ISIS.
Louisiana Gov. Jeff Landry on Thursday compared the investigation to a jigsaw puzzle, he said during a Thursday press conference.
Over 400 tips have been submitted and investigators are combing through Jabbar's laptops and phones. More than 1,000 law enforcement officers have been "pouring over countless amounts of data, of videos, of surveillances, interviews, tracking down every possible lead," Landry said.
Jabbar was "hell-bent" on killing as many people as possible, driving a pickup truck onto the sidewalk around a parked police car serving as a barricade to plow into pedestrians, officials said.
The suspect mowed down dozens of people over a three-block stretch on Bourbon Street while firing into the crowd, police told ABC. Two IEDs inside coolers were also found at the scene. Officials said the IEDs were rendered safe in place.
