he fired on our officers from his vehicle when he crashed his vehicle. two of our officers have been shot. he was hell bent on creating the carnage and the damage that he did. because of the nature and the indexes we have on the scene, and we have enough information that the fbi will be taking over thisc scene in new orleans on new year's. at least ten people are dead and dozens more hurt after a pickup truck sped through a crowd of revellers then opened fire on police officers. fox news can confirm that suspect, a man, is now dead. this is fox news live. >> the horrifying attack unfolding on bourbon street in the city's iconic french quarter just after 3 a.m. local time.

police say they found at least one improvised explosive device at the scene, and the fbi is now investigating this incident as an act of terrorism. >> we have team coverage this morning. david spunt standing by in washington with more on the federal response. but first alexis mcadam live in our news room with the very latest. alexis? >> you gotta feel for these people waking up in new orleans, hearing family and friends celebrating on bourbon street. investigators telling fox news this man was trying to run over as many people as he could there on that crowded street in new orleans. and the suspect is dead, according to federal sources. we're gonna pull up what we know on your screen. you can see it. at least tenkilled. that number could also rise. that live shot, the coroner's truck is still parked there. at least two coroners trucks. 35 people injured, suspect dead.

the two officers that were shot by this man are in stable condition at this time. investigators doing everything they can to piece this together. watch. >> we had this event started at about 3:15. it did involve a man driving a pickup truck down bourbon street at a very fast pace. it was very intentional behavior. this man was trying to run over as many people as he possibly could. it was not a dui situation. this is more complex and more serious based on the information we have right now. >> so this unfold, as you heard the officers there, at 3 a.m. this morning local time on bourbon street. people were still out partying, ringing in 2025. that man sped down that busy street in his pickup truck and fired from his truck hitting at least two new orleans police officers. i want to see if we can look at the bottom of the screen.

those are new pictures we just got into the news room. you can see the damage. that is the truck according to sources that was in one of those photos. it's a white truck. it is smashed in. you can see it there. the front is up. officers are all around that truck as they try to figure out why this ever even happened in the first place and how the driver was able to get around barricades that were put there to specifically stop something like this from happening. investigators say he was hell bent on creating carnage. those officers are expected to be okay this morning. we're sending our thoughts and prayers to them, telling people this morning, get away from bourbon street. why? because they found at least one ied in that area near the barricades where all of this partying was happening. there's a lot going on there. also back in the news room, what people also want to know, what's going on with the sugar bowl? more than 60,000 people are expected to be at that event.

it's a short walk or drive away. notre dame/georgia game tonight 8:45. there are also coroner trucks parked. a huge parade. so there's an ied found. there's ten people at least dead, dozens wounded. we're going to have to see what happens here as the information continues to roll in. we'll see what happens. >> we're getting more details what about the scene looks like. imagine if you're there visiting for a game and staying at a hotel. witnesses are talking about twisted bodies on the ground. puddles of blood. eyewitnesss as well talking about bodies flying. that is the kind of carnage we are talking about because of this attack. alexis mcadams, thank you. we'll follow up with you. >> there is a state, local, federal response going on as welsh of course. for the latest on the federal response with the fbi's lead, we go to david spunt live at the white house. david? >> molly, when it comes to

public statements, fbi officials are cautious. in this case, just hours after this happened, the fbi is prepared to call this an investigation as an act of terrorism. that is significant. is it domestic terrorism or international terrorism? we don't know yet. but fbi officials have enough information to use the word terrorism. typically an investigation there has to be a certain threshold, certain criteria that is note call it that. so clearly, fbi officials have some information that leads them to believe this is terrorism, whether it be international terrorism or domestic terrorism. we should find tphout a couple hours when officials on the ground have more information. i'm here at the white house. president biden is not here at the white house today. he's on his way to camp david with the first lady, dr. jill biden. we know that he personally spoke to new orleans mayor cantrell, offered the full support of the office of homeland security and any other federal agencies.

fbi director christopher wray and the attorney general garland have been briefed. we have not yet heard from president-elect trump. those statements could come at any time. he typically posts them on social media. so the federal response is vigorous. the fbi is the lead in this case. the atf also involved on the scene. but again, notable that the fbi is calling this an act of terrorism. as we wait, we don't want to speculate, but as we wait to find out more information about why the fbi is prepared to use the word terrorism just hours after this tragedy occurred. molly? >> so very swiftly. tracking the response from thighest levels of our government, david, thank you very much. >> let's bring in chris zwicker. thank you so much for being here under terrible circumstances. what's happening right now with the fbi investigation from your perspective? they obviously have this individual, who has been killed.

i would imagine they're gonna know his identification fairly quickly. go to his home. what else, chris? >> right. i mean, it's highly likely at this.they do know who this killer was. car registration, identification on him, fingerprint, whatever. yes, you're right. they're gonna go to the house. they're gonna find media, electronic media, mobile devices, laptops, family members, friends. they're gonna kheb all his social media postings, if there are some. there usually are. they've already announced that this is a terrorist motivation, which means there was a political or social motivation. terrorism is trying to affect political or social change through violence. so now you say, the question of whether it's domestic or international terrorism. they're plumbing all of that evidence, videos from the scene, talking to witnesses. were there writings in the car, etc? they're very focused on whether

there's a continuing danger. is there a danger of a copycat? is there a danger of co-conspirators, which could be the case if this is international terrorism. we've had four years of open border. we know terror cells have infiltrated. the fbi is drawing on all the resources available, including atf, local resources. they've got the capabilities. >> absolutely. every tool at work, i'm sure. chris, molly here. i just want to ask you. the fbi was pretty swift to come out, a david spunt pointed out, that they're investigating this as an act of terrorism. what are your thoughts on that? >> they obviously found evidence in the truck or got on social media or got with his friends and family and discerned a political motive pretty quickly. despite the fact that the assistant special agent in charge said no terrorism. that was a premature call.

probably shouldn't have been made at all. when you call it terrorism, it's a different situation, obviously. especially in my view, if it's international terrorism. now you're looking for cells. was this part of a cell or was this a lone radicalized actor. there is certainly precedent for this type of attack. we've seen it in new orleans twice. it's a low tech attack. it can happen pretty much anywhere. so we've got to get back to the nuts and bolts of security. it isn't always a grandiose terror attack. >> we were told at a press conference it was described that this truck went around barricades. with your experience, i have to believe here the french quarter, in the heart of new orleans, a major event on new year's eve that the fbi's federal resource and local resources were in contact in trying to protect this area, this iconic area.

what happened here, do you think? we were told also just in the last hour by chuck, if you're able to go around the barricade, that is an absolute failure in protecting an area from a vehicle ramming attack. >> yeah. the federal agencies have a role to play in these types of large events, bowl games, parades. they have different levels that you can label them. that will dictate what type of security is rolled out. but mostly it's in intelligence and prevention and cooperation posture until something is actually happened. in this case, the primary security would have been on the local police department, new orleans police department, with assistance from an intelligence standpoint. but it's fundamental. i've worked in security. i was head of security when i retired from the fbi. i have head of security at bank of america. you have to protect the largest number of people where the highest concentration of people are. that's your perimeter. then different layers of

security going outwards. in this case, this was very predictable. you can just put up wooden barriers and think that's gonna do the trick. a truck got past there. this is not a lone actor with a handgun, which would be almost impossible to detect. this is a truck. you almost have to, as your prior guest said, you almost have to classify this as a security failure. it's predictable. it's preventsable. >> chris, the sugar bowl ceo put out a statement this morning acknowledging these terrible events, and also saying they're working with local, state, federal level to communicate further details as they become available. what do you think should happen? lot of people traveled there to be present for the sugar bowl. >> well, of course, there's going to be stepped up security. they already have a security plan. but there's going to be an enhanced security plan. my fear, i worked the salt lake city olympic.

my biggest fear was not just in the venue but with the crowds q q queing up to get into the venue. was this a coordinated attack? regardless. parades and large events will have to step up their game today and enhance their security and expect the worst. >> do you expect this game to continue tonight? >> i don't see them canceling this game. but that depends, too, on what the fbi knows at this point and whether there's a continuing danger. was this part of something broader? they're pulling out -- it's all hands on deck right now. i'm sure they're conferring with sugar bowl authorities. at bare minimum you'll see greatly enhanced security at the game. aside from something dramatic coming from the fbi, i don't see

them canceling the sugar bowl tonight. >> talking about a continue threat, one of the biggest things they talked about and urged people to avoid the bourbon street area is because of ied's, that an ied may have been found. they've got a wide perimeter close to bourbon street. what do you make, the fear about ied's? >> yeah. by definition they're weapons of mass destruction. there's different types of ied's. you can have a simple pipe bomb. unfortunately, ten years ago i wouldn't have disclosed this, but there's ways to -- there's recipes for making ieds on the internet. pretty much anyone can put an ied together. again, you got to worry about copy cats. you've got to worry about whether this was something broader than one lone individual. the presence of one ied means there may be other ieds at that person's house. i'm sure they're there now with a search warrant going in very

carefully. but once you bring in ieds into the equation, now you're talking about a mass destruction explosive device. that brings in a whole different set of problems and resources. >> i think that raises a great.. investigators are always concerned when you go to the home of a suspect like this, the potential of booby traps. thank you for being with us and bringing us your insights. >> now let's bring back david spunt with a word from the attorney general, who is reacting to this horrific attack. david, what do you have? >> as we wait for a paper statement from president biden and the white house, we are getting a statement from the anywaying's top law enforcement officer attorney general garland. i want to read it to you. the country woke up this morning to news of a terrible tragedy in new orleans that killed at least ten people and injured many more. my heart is broken for those who began their year by learning people they loved were killed in this horrific attack. my prayers are with the dozens who were injured, including the

new orleans police department officers who risk their lives to save others. the fbi is investigating this as an act of terrorism. the fbi, atf, justice department national security division and u.s. attorney's office for the eastern district of louisiana will continue to work with law enforcement and we will deploy every available resource to conduct this investigation. as i said moments ago, president biden, who's gonna be at camp david with the first lady, spoke to new orleans mayor cantrell, offered the full support of the federal government. christopher wray has been briefed since the bureau is the lead on this case. >> yeah. those two police officers are in stable condition, thankfully. we do have at least 26 others who are at the level one trauma center with potential life threatening injuries. david, thank you for that. we'll stay on it. >> and we are expecting new orleans police and officials to give us another update a little

later on this morning. we're waiting for that. our coverage continues in a moment.

>> we are continuing to cover this tragic ramming attack that occurred on bourbon street in new orleans. ten dead, dozens injured, as we

continue to follow this investigation. let's bring in louisiana senator bill cassidy. sir, thank you for joining us. condolences to you to all of this happening and unfolding in your state. i just want to get your early thoughts as this investigation gets under way. >> so the fbi confirmed they are investigating it as an issue of terrorism. they've got license plates on the truck. they've got the person who's been killed. they know the inside of the truck. if they're calling it terrorism, they think it's terrorism. they have some evidence to the ideology of the person. that will be revealed pretty soon. lastly, i'll say if they're terrorist, we can't let them win. we have to track them down, hunt them down, bring them to justice and live on with our lives and not let them stop us from doing what we normally do. >> >> there's a family reunification center at the university medical center. that is the level one trauma

center in the new orleans area. that's where 26 people are being treated for critical injuries. we are told it is on the first floor of the umc conference center across from tower two, which is the midpoint of the hospital. what are you hearing, senator, about the families, victims, people in your community who are suffering right now? >> first people need to be reassured. i'm a gastroenterologist, my wife is a surgeon who is trained in trauma. when there's a mass casualty incident, then people go through and they say this person is dead, this person won't survive, but this person is critical, let's get them to level one. the level one trauma center run by the medical school and tulane medical school. they've got lots of physician all the time ready to run. if there are those with lesser injuries and the level one trauma center is full, they'll send them to the other hospitals. but they're great hospitals.

one is prepared to accept people. i don't know if people went there. my point being there's adequate capacity to take on even such a terrible incident as this. and lastly, somebody pointed out, a lot of people are sleeping late. maybe stayed out too late. if you're not hearing from your loved ones, it is not necessarily that they're involved. probably not. it's more likely they're sleeping in after staying out late. but still, i can understand everyone's concern. >> lot of people waking up to heartbreak today. as you mentioned, may not even know this has occurred yet, as it begins to unfold. the fbi has been very boldly, within just a few hours of this unfolding, acknowledging they're investigating this as an act of terrorism. they're in this iconic location. all of america is familiar with bourbon street and the revelry and what this means on an iconic night, on a holiday night. what do you make of the

callousness of this act and the timing of it? >> yes. terrorists choose the moment when they can have the most impact upon people's imagination. they're gonna choose a place that they know will be the center of attention. they don't go to some small town an kill one person. they go to a big city with lots of media where they know they'll get attention. their whole point is to strike terror within us. that's why it looks like a terror act, as well as things they're finding on the truck and the person. that said, we need to fine him, bring him to justice, hunt them down. hunt down the whole organization. clearly looks like it was organized. then live on with our lives. do not be intimidated by terrorists. >> senator, new orleans is no stranger to major events. not only have new year's eve. you have the sugar bowl. decades of, even hundreds of years, of parades. do you consider this a failure? what do you know?

what are you hearing about how somebody was able to go around a barricade in the french quarter? >> first, we live in a free society. unless you want to have a check point every block, it's very difficult to keep such things from happening. and a check point which your truck is sor your vehicle or your person is checked. and in our free society, we typically don't like that. we want to get from here to there rapidly. so that's just inherent in our society. now that said, i can promise you in advance of the game tonight or the super bowl a month from now there's gonna be a lot of limitations on what people can do. let me say one more thing to reassure people. i've been asked, what about the super dome and the game tonight. that stadium's been locked down. before this event happened, they would go through with dogs and other things to sniff explosives or anything else. it's locked down. no one can get in. they do that before every saints game, before every big event,

like taylor swift concert they recently had. they did it before this game. when you go into the stadium, you go through a magnometer. the game tonight will be safe. i can promise you, whatever our desire for freedom in our society, there will be more check points from here out. >> you think the game should happen tonight? >> yes. the terrorist win if we don't live our lives. we must live our lives. otherwise, one more time they win. they can't win. we've got to track them down. we've got to hunt them down. we've got to find their supporting network and bring them to justice. we can do that. we've done it before. and then we don't let them intimidate us. >> louisiana senator bill cassidy, thank you for joining us. some hard days ahead. our thoughts are with you. thank you. >> new updates at the sugar bowl after this deadly truck attack in new orleans now being

investigated as an act of terrorism. we'll have more in a moment. i'll be honest. by the end of the day, my floors...yeesh. but who has the time to clean? that's why i love my swiffer wetjet. it's a quick and easy way to get my floors clean. wetjet absorbs and locks grime deep inside. look at that! swiffer wetjet. customize and save with liberty mutual. customize and sa— (balloon doug pops & deflates) and then i wake up. is limu with you in all your dreams? oh, yeah. only pay for what you need. ♪ liberty, liberty, liberty, liberty. ♪

>> on the phone right now is our very own arthel neville. she is an anchor and born an raised in louisiana. you an your family plugged in to the life blood of new orleans. how, what are your thoughts as you wake up this morning 2025 to this tragic, tragic attack? >> yeah. well, bryan, when you hear the fbi is investigating this as an act of terror, it's a sobering and shocking statement to hear applied to new orleans. i do have some information for you according to a city council member. local authorities are reportedly saying the suspect may not have acted alone and they're looking for a couple of accomplices.

police agencies are investigating the texas license plate on the pickup truck turned into a weapon. of course, we're going to get updated details from the press conference scheduled to start in about 90 minutestoday was a day that new orleans was expecting a massive celebration, not a mass casualty. it's just so heartbreaking. the french quarter was packed, as you can imagine, at 3:15 this morning. it's new year's eve and sugar bowl eve. thousands of georgia and notre dame fans mingling with many locals celebrating. the weather was mild. i'm in new orleans right now. i came home for the holidays. the weather was mild. the night was perfect. until it wasn't. >> yeah. so heartbreaking. i want to let you continue, of course, but i know you, like many people in new orleans, are

waking up today wondering, who do you know? do you know someone who was injured? worried about friends and family members and connections that a close knit community like this would have. go on. >> my phone has been going on all day, all morning, from people here, family members. are you okay? are you okay etc? i was supposed to go to a new year's eve party that was seven or eight blocks from this this tragedy took place. i decided not to go. french quarter would be packed with people, of course. i just didn't want to go down there. that sets the scene of how packed it was. new orleans is like new york's times square especially on new year's eve. i do want to take you to bourbon street to give our viewers an idea of where this happened. what's nearby? got the acme oyster house, the

bourbon orleans. the ritz carlton is there nearby. speaking of text messages that not only did i get from friends and family, 6:17 a.m. because this is an active scene, we are urging residents to stay off bourbon from canal to romaine. right now much of the french quarter is completely shut down. i believe royal street was opened an hour ago. you got nopd bomb squad, state police, multiple local agencies. they're scouring the french quarter for any explosive devices planted presumably by the suspect. a couple hours ago, in fact, at least two suspicious devices were detonated by law enforcement. as you well know, all of these details are subject to change. look, you've got 26,000 hotel rooms in the french quarter and downtown new orleans. they're expected to be occupied

about 82% this weekend. again, with tens of thousands of people flocking in and through the french quarter. new orleans superintendent anne kirkpatrick said this perpetrator -- let me see. she said, quote, was hell bent on creating the carnage and the damage that he did. so, you know, i'll say, of course, with a heavy heart and city wide condolences to those who lost their lives and did not live to see this new year. as of now, it appears sugar bowl is scheduled to kick off in about ten hours. 70,000 fans set the fill the super dome. local police and politicians are assuring fans that the dome is safe. this is heart breaking, sad, terrible not only what's happening to new orleans. new orleans is the jewel of our country. i think we all share in the

sober nature of what's happened here and share our thoughts and prayers with any family members who were affected by this tragedy. >> absolutely, arthel. we are so glad that you are okay. arthel, about security, i don't know how much you've been able to watch or see, but you did compare to it times square, which i think is spot on. in the french quarter, you have people that are able to walk ar around. they're going to bars, to restaurants. so there is a difference in the sense that you can't be completely locked down. i'm wondering, did you notice anything different, maybe from prior years? did it seem locked down to you compared to what you maybe noticed in the past? >> you're right, times square is locked down. it's cordoned off. you have to go through the metal

detectors. that's not the case in the french quarter. you had about 300 officers on patrol. all the local police were keeping the french quarter safe. to your point, i did see one local report which i found interesting. we'll get details, of course, as this is fluid. i will confirm everything later. an eyewitness said there wasn't a concrete barrier blocking off the street, but yet just regular barricades. that certainly is not gonna stop a car from getting through, unfortunately. i know that for years city leaders have been considering making bourbon and royal street permanent pedestrian streets. whether knows, perhaps this horrible tragedy might expedite those changes. certainly not blaming this event on the fact that it hasn't already been made into a pedestrian street. quite frankly, someone with this

heinous heart, if you will, they're gonna find a way to create mass chaos and carnage. >> absolutely. arthel, thank you for joining us this morning, providing that important context, as a native of new orleans. we're glad you're safe. we will stay in contact with you, obviously, throughout the day. please let us know based on what you've seen down there. thanks again, arthel. officials are ramping up security for tonight's sugar bowl at the super dome. thousands of people have come to new orleans to attend that event. alexis mcadams is following that from our news room. >> as you just heard from the senator and also the police, they said they have no plans to postpone or delay this game. this is a huge game. the sugar bowl between notre dame and georgia, brought in thousands of people as arthel

mentioned. she knows all of those hotels on bourbon street are packed almost at near capacity. they're also supposed to have the super bowl in weeks in new orleans. they're used to having huge events. what happened that led to this mass casualty situation is still to be told. the sugar bowl is putting out a statement on what they think is going to happen. let's pull up that on your screen. the sugar bowl committee is devastated by the events of early this morning. our thoughts and prayers are with the victims and families. we are in on going discussions with authorities and will communicate further details as they become available. okay. so they're not saying if they're going to postpone it or delay it, but when you have 68,000 people going to that dome, it will be difficult to try to cancel it at this point. as you heard in that great interview you did, if you let this be cancelled, you let this person win, as they continue to

figure out what his motivations were. the fbi said this was an act of terrorism as he tried to run over as many people as he could on bourbon street. i also want to pull up this picture. we're trying to sift through them to see which ones we can use. this, according to sources and officials, this truck that you can see behind where those authorities are standing, they have weapons. you can see the guys on the other side of the screen were suited up in tact tall gear. we're being told that is the truck. it's a white pickup truck. the entire front end of this thing is smashed in. and as arthel was saying, they're trying to piece it together with what was in the car, what was on the outside of the car. had a license plate on it, according to pictures i have seen. can they run that license plate? was it a rental car? really, there's more questions than answers at this point. according to federal sources the suspect drove a truck with that

texas license plate. this is just coming into our news room. this is from griff jenkins and david spunt. the suspect drives that truck, with a texas license plate, right through bourbon street. according to their sources, this person came through eagle pass, texas, two days ago, okay. we're gonna leave that up on your screen. these are just new photos. i just keep thinking from covering these things, and also from going to these big events and having fun. who thinks they're going to go out in an area that looks like it has security. 300 police officers. they had security in the area. then you end up having a car drive right down the street, killing at least ten people. they have a coroners truck out there right now. we have to figure what's coming after this, guys. >> alexis, our gratitude to you for bringing us these new pictures. fascinating look as things are

beginning to unfold. we appreciate all of those insights as our continuing coverage goes on. >> continuing coverage of our top story. we're awaiting new updates from police after a car plowed through a new year's crowd on bourbon street. with cascade platinum plus, i have upped my dish game auntie, in that dishwasher? watch me platinum plus gives you the highest standard of clean, even in your machine. clean enough for you? yeah! scrape. load. done. cascade platinum plus.

>> welcome back. we're continuing to cover the horrific at tack, the vehicle ramming attack that happened in new orleans. we're getting more material from david spunt, who's talking about the vehicle. we've received information about a vehicle that was potentially used in this attack. the vehicle potentially was traced at crossing at eagle pass texas. there's other reporting that the license plate is from texas. all of this very fluid. we go now to a retired fbi agent. bobby, thank you so much for coming on with us and talking with us as we're beginning to

get new details and more information about this alleged perpetrator. the fbi says that they're looking at this as a terrorism investigation. your early thoughts? >> sure. i think you have to handle it as a terrorism investigation, certainly in these early hours. if you don't, you can't go back and do it again. you have one chance to do it right. so you have to, i think you have to approach it as a terrorism act until it's found not to be. you have to follow the evidence. there's no impact on the investigators at the street level, which i was for 30 years. but, you know, there are several teams out there collecting forensic evidence at the scene. there's people doing the social media dives on whatever id this guy had on him. there's teams interviewing people. so there's several avenues of investigation going on. all that happens, whether or not we call it terrorism or not. those terms are used at the press conferences that people get hung up on, but they

shouldn't. the only time is later down the road when the prosecutor's office at the federal level, state level are deciding what to charge these people with, this person or these people with. >> molly and bobby, stay there for a second. let's bring in david spunt. he and griff general kins are able to report the suspect drove a truck with a texas license plate that came through eagle pass, texas, two days ago. david, what else do you know about this vehicle? >> so we're hearing that the vehicle was traced to coming across from mexico into united states at eagle pass, texas two days ago. to be clear, we don't 100% know that this man. we do know the suspect was a man. was the person driving that crossed the border. that is unclear at this point. we just know that the actual license plate was picked up by a reader at a border crossing. this is per two federal law enforcement sources to fox news, that it was picked up crossing at that border station in eagle

pass, texas, two days ago. i know that raises more questions than answers, but we are providing information to our viewers as we get it, the most accurate information. so that's what we know right now. as far as the name of the suspect, we don't know. we've heard several names but we want to be sure we have the accurate name before we say anything about a name an before we broadcast that. we're going to be getting an upday in a couple of hours. the fbi is leading this investigation. president biden has been briefed. he's been speaking to the mayor, the department of homeland security, fbi, department of justice all involved. attorney general garland putting out a statement. still waiting on an absolute statement from president biden. he's on his way to camp david. perhaps we might speak at the airport before he heads to camp david. he was in delaware. he spent the night in delaware new year's eve. but as far as this eagle pass, texas, situation is concerned, again, we don't know that this

person was actually crossing the border. so there would likely be some sort of photograph that was taken at the border, because there are license plate readers and whatnot. we know that images are captured at border crossings. but what's not clear is who specifically was driving. and the other thing that's not entirely clear right now is the status, the immigration status of this driver. >> fascinating key details there. david spunt, stay on it. thank you. >> great clarification as we continue to untangle some details coming in about this overall attack, about the perpetrator, about the investigation. the fbi saying that they are looking at this as terrorism. more to come. —sounds like you need to vaporize that cold. dayquil vapocool? it's dayquil plus a rush of vicks vapors. ♪vapocooooool♪ woah. dayquil vapocool. the vaporizing daytime, coughing, aching, stuffy head, power through your day, medicine.

>> we continue to cover a vehicle ramming attack in new orleans. we just got a state from president-elect trump on the new orleans attack. he says "when i said that the criminals coming in are far worse than the criminals we have in our country, that statement was constantly refuted by democrats and the fake news media. it turned out to be true. the crime rate in our country is at a level that nobody has ever seen before. our hearts are with all of the innocent victims and loved ones

including brave officers of the new orleans police department. the trump administration will fully support the city of new orleans as they investigate and recover from this act of pure evil". i want to bring back in bobby. thanks, sir, for sticking with us as this breaking news and new details have come in. your thoughts as the president-elect has talked about the criminals coming in and also the new details on the investigation. your thoughts, bobby. >> sure, it impacts the president-elect's statement that a plate reader in eagle pass sees this car coming in from mexico. now we have a problem with the border. this is maybe a border issue. people have been warning for years about the open border and possible terrorism coming in. we don't know the origin of the person driving the truck, whether he was a foreign national or u.s. citizen or connected to international groups. we now know that the weapon

basically used was that truck, came across the border. you know, with a u.s. license plate, it may have come across anyway, even with tougher border controls. but we don't know that yet. certainly we do know the weapon was brought in from mexico two days ago. that impacts the investigation. they already know that it came across. so now they're looking at international aspects of this case. there's a lot going on right now with the investigators and a lot going on everywhere. you have the sugar bowl tonight, the rose bowl, the super bowl in six weeks. all of these things are being impacted. security will have to be ramped up on both hard targets and soft targets. there's a lot going to be going on today and in the next few days. >> bobby chacon, thank you. former fbi agent. >> let's highlight again the new reporting. that is remarkable reporting by griff jenkins and david spunt. we know that the vehicle has a

texas plate. it crossed through eagle pass, texas, crossed the border two days ago. we're still trying to figure out the details of whether or not this person was a citizen, who this person was. it will be a big part of this continuing coverage next. go-friends, gather! keke! chris! jason! boop! friends. let's go, let's go, friends! hold onto your dice. woohoo!! -nice frosting, pratt. -thank you! how we doin', keke? tastes like money to me. i can't go back to jail! wait, did you rob my bank? -hehe. -are we winning!? -ha ha ha! -oh boy! yeah! money, power, friendship. let's go!
