and joining us now is new orleans city council member oliver thomas. councilman, thank you so much for being here. i know that you all are are learning new information. i also know that you're city council president is launching a fact finding committee to review this terror attack and its implications. i just want to ask you first about that, that clip from your lieutenant governor that we had in the story just before you, where he was saying that he asked for two years to have these bollards replaced. what do you know about that? i think a lot of people are curious. obviously, we heard from the the mayor that they weren't up because they were in the process of going up. but why have this event if they weren't there in place? did you not think people would be at risk of something like this? >> well, first of all, let me say i wasn't on the council three years ago and i wasn't in politics ten years ago. had i had that kind of information, then hopefully we would have done something so that we could have looked to replace or improve the protection syste

back to cbs reporter katie wise now with new orleans city council member. >> good afternoon, major. councilman, i wanted to talk with you more about some of the safety issues that came up during the news conference. there was a question about the bollards, for those at home not familiar with those, a type of barrier put up to keep folks in a pedestrian only zone safer. can you talk to us about what went wrong with those, what kind of improvements were pending still in time for the super bowl with those? >> the improvement was going to be they were a bit more efficient, less prone to mechanical issues. but it is important to recognize there was a police car in place in front of the area where the bollards should be, and the terrorist chose to simply go around it. it is important to recognize that the terrorist could have entered the french quarter and even bourbon street from side streets. not all were protected by bollards. it is important to recognize that's a desirable development to have the bollards in place, but that alone does not explain why a terrorist was able to go on to t

now just within the last couple of hours, i spoke with a new orleans city council person who visited two police officers who were injured in this attack. he says those heroes are in stable condition tonight, and they are resting. major? >> major: heroes, indeed. kati weis, thank you. now to a developing story in las vegas. police there are investigating a possible terror attack involving a tesla cybertruck that exploded into a fireball today outside the trump international hotel, killing at least one person. the blast is prompting responses from elon musk and the president-elect's son. cbs's andres gutierrez has details. >> reporter: the tesla cybertruck exploded and burst into flames this morning just outside the doors of the trump international hotel. >> it still looks like mortars from like a fireworks. >> reporter: people at the hotel and on the sidewalk had to scramble to safety as fire crews tried to douse the flames. >> we saw that smoke start showing from the vehicle, and then a large explosion from the truck occurs. >> reporter: police say the person in the cybertruck died i

cnn is learning the current new orleans city council president is creating a fact finding committee to review the implications of that attack. cnn's randi kaye has more on the security shortcomings that officials were warned about five years ago, as well as the effort to address them, which, sadly, were simply not completed in time. >> keeping bourbon street safe for new year's eve revelers was priority number one. so what happened? >> this particular terrorist drove around onto the sidewalk and got around the hard target. we did indeed have a plan, but the terrorist defeated it. >> i'm at the corner of bourbon and canal street, and this is where the city parked that police vehicle on new year's eve, what they refer to as the hard target. but the suspect managed to jump the curb with his truck maneuvering around that police vehicle, then raced down bourbon street. the city's more permanent barriers are bollards like these portable steel structures that were designed to prevent vehicles from entering bourbon street. they move up and down and can either lay flat or be raised to close the

joining me is the councilmember at-large and vice president of new orleans city council. very much for being with us. our condolences to your city, your constituents, to you and everybody else affected by the tragedy. >> thank you. we appreciate that. >> bourbon st. is set to reopen. we saw a brass band apparently practicing for it. what does that symbolize? >> we are a resilient city. new orleans has existed since before the united states. we've faced a tremendous amount of disasters both man-made and natural. this is another one of those disasters, the things that test our resilience. we will emerge stronger out the other end. i think it is important to remember that the purpose of terrorism is disrupting society, undermining democracy and making people question faith and other people. the attack was particularly painful because people know new orleans has the city that's about fun, revelry, festivals and inclusion and people celebrating being with each other. to do this attack on new year's day, while people are celebrating was just breathtakingly awful. as the sugar b

orleans this week. this as the city will soon face a lawsuit from a survivor claiming the city was negligent in preventing the attack. for more, i'm joined by new orleans city councilining us, i know this is a very challenging time for your community, particularly as they wrangle with potentially how this could have been prevented and the grief that for many people will simply never end. how is your community doing and what's your response there? we just saw the police chief talking about yet another measure that existed that potentially could have been taken that wasn't. your thoughts? >> i think everybody's still wrestling with the aftermath of what happened. obviously, knowing now that this person acted alone has been one of the biggest sighs of relief. we're really concerned whether or not there was going to be more attacks and having the sugar bowl go off without a hitch, i think allowed a lot of people to breathe a collective sigh of relief. as far as the question about what the police chief said, many of us feel the say way, but there's a balance here. the balance is the ultimate direct cause of what happened is this terrorist and let there be no mistake, th

were impacted by this tragedy on bourbon street in the heart of the city of new orleans and i know that the entire new orleans city council grieves along right with me, no doubt about that. and our people and our families. we're committed no doubt to uncovering all details surrounding this tragedy. and we're taking every necessary step to put even more safety procedures in place. >> the fbi says that again, multiple ieds were found in the suspect's car and the french quarter. there was an isis flag on the car as well, they confirmed. right now obviously a lot of enhanced security, bomb dogs law enforcement officers sweeping this shut down area, 10 dead, dozens injured and officials say some injured are still fighting for their loaves. the you've university of georgia confirms one of their students is injured. how the 42-year-old suspect ended up driving the car into a crowd of people on bourbon street, the police department says they did have barriers up, they had police cars acting out as barriers as well but somehow this suspect just ended up getting around it and, you know, the super bowl is coming up here in a little

city of new orleans. and i know that the entire new orleans city council grieves a long ride with me, no doubt about that, our people and our families. my priority will continue to be to ensure that victims that remain on bourbon street now will be serviced and removed as soon as possible -- [no audio] necessary to make this happen. i also want to acknowledge hearing from president biden, all of our federal partners, but most importantly, colonel governor landry this morning responded with haste and we say thank you and a demonstration of a unified support is right here in this room. that is how we collectively responded to this tragedy in the city of new orleans. the mission now is to facilitate, support, and coordinate safety procedures to keep our residents and our visitors safe. i have gone to the hospital, along with chief kirkpatrick to visit our police officers, and considering their injuries, they are doing well. as i mentioned, this investigation is ongoing, and the fbi remains the lead in the investigation. it is an active crime scene, as well. we are committed, no doubt, to uncovering all detai

i want to talk about the new orleans city council member who thinks apps were used by the suspects thatave suspected him evade the detection of the actual attack itself. watch this? >> the vehicle was rented off a vehicle rental site that wasn't a traditional one. the individual, from what we understand was airbnb. had this person went to a hertz rental car who knows if the information we have heard got a rental car. if this person had been required to stay in a hotel? would they have been discovered at the hotel? >> jason: chris, tell me about that. what's your reaction? >> yeah, i think -- a little bit bizarre-chilling. >> whether he is at airbnb or ritz carlton doesn't matter. it's staying where he is staying. what his actions are. and what he has been planning and leading up to. the app. had nothing to do with it. the only thing that's interesting here, really, is the toro app. it. is a common denominator between the las vegas and the new orleans incident. it is sort of an easy way to rent a car, easy, cheap way to rent a car. i don't know that it's all that relevant to this investi

. >> reporter: the new orleans city council announced an investigation into what went wrong with securitythere were questions about why he protection system designed to stop vehicles from entering bourbon street was down and wide temporary blocking devices called archers were not in use on sidewalks. where the attacker was able to drive through. >> actually, we have them. i did not know about them, but we have them. and so we have been able now to put them out. >> reporter: on friday, a law firm representing one of the victims said it will sue the city of new orleans and the new orleans police department over the attack. arguing they failed to implement basic security precautions. >>> president biden and the first lady will visit new orleans tomorrow to attend a vigil for the victims of the attack. louisiana has also declared a day of mourning, flags are flying at half staff. >>> california has a web of earthquake faults and coming up next why the lesser-known smaller ones, could play a big role in triggering a major quake. >>> it is a quiet start to our day, just a little bit of a low ha

freddie king iii represents this part of the french quarter on the new orleans city council. >> nevered that this would act of terror, that it was something that was done intentionally. those kind of things just don't happen in new orleans. laura: king is focused on what needs to be done moving forward, including increasing protection for bourbon street and the entire french quarter. >> i understand it's human nature to want to get answers, to want to find out who's to blame and how that has happened, to point fingers. i just don't think that that's warranted here. laura: how has the community and the people of new orleans responded to this? >> like we always do, like we did for katrina, like we did for hurricane ida and everything in between. we rally around each other. we support those who need support. laura: meanwhile, the sugar bowl football game, postponed from yesterday due to the attack, kicked off this afternoon. with fans swarming downtown new orleans, though with a heavier police presence. >> the city of new orleans, we're resilient. laura: new orleans mayor latoya cantrell

i want to bring in now new orleans city council member j.p. morrell. all right. here i am with you on this camera. j.p., thanks so much for being with us. we are just learning, obviously, the identity of the attacker. first, though, i want to i want to talk to you about these barriers that we were just talking about here with evan and paula, because that's one of the reasons that new orleans had them was because of an attack in france. we just saw one in germany. we covered it extensively. it was horrific. here on this show. were those barriers that are capable of keeping cars out of the area where they up at the time of this attack? >> well, actually, the barriers were in the midst of being repaired and replaced, but in actuality, in this instance, the individual circumvented the barriers by going on the sidewalk and getting past the area where they had police vehicles, where the barrier where the repair barriers were at. so in this instance, even had the bollard barriers been up. the circumvention by riding on the sidewalk would have defeated them. um, there is

joining me now is oliver thomas, new orleans city council member. o sits on the city's criminal justice committee. councilman, our thoughts are with you and your city on this very, very difficult day. i know you spent time at the hospital yesterday visiting and praying with the victims families. tell us what's happening on the ground and how the injured are doing. >> well, we we're waiting. we're going to get updates at the mayor's press conference and the police chief's press conference on the injured, uh, as well as the joint task force that are working with our federal partners. we'll get that this morning. but on the ground, we continue to assess the situation. i'm out here in the french quarter, in the downtown area right now, just driving around looking, trying to imagine looks like what could we have done different? and we're still mourning. uh, new orleans is a festive city where we take pride in hosting events and honoring people. but we've been turned upside down. and yesterday, for me, was from the emergency room to 6:00 to in the morning

city of new orleans. and i know that the entire new orleans city council grieves along right with me, no doubt about that. and our people and our families, my priority will continue to be to ensure that victims that remain on bourbon street now will be serviced and removed as soon as possible. but as stated, the fbi is in charge of this investigation and are doing everything necessary to make this happen. i also want to acknowledge hearing from president biden, all of our federal partners, but most importantly, calling governor landrieu this morning, i responded with haste. and we do say thank you. and, of course, a demonstration of a unified support is right here in this room. that's how we collectively responded to this tragedy in the city of new orleans. the mission now is to facilitate, support and coordinate safety procedures to keep our residents and our visitors safe. i have gone to the hospital, along with chief kirkpatrick, to visit our police officers and considering their injuries, they're doing well. as i mentioned, this investigation is ongoing and the fbi remains the lead in the investigatio

with us now we have new orleans city council member eugene green, who represents the area just next door to where the attack happened. councilman, thanks for being with us. we know that your city is going through so much. we heard from the mayor that bourbon street here is reopening shortly ahead of the super the sugar bowl kicking off in just a few hours. can you tell us a little bit about security measures? any concerns or assurances that you can give? >> brianna, thank you for this opportunity. and to the nation, i want you to know that new orleans is standing strong and we're standing strong for our nation. >> i want to express my condolences to the family members of those who who were deceased as a result of this horrific act, and also to express to those who are injured. we wish for your full and complete and rapid recovery. i do want to let you know that the city of new orleans is very, very focused on security. we've learned from this incident. of course, it's important to recognize that someone who is hell bent on killing fellow human beings and including himself, it's difficult

. >> new orleans city council president helena moreno, our hearts and prayers go out to to you and your entire community. we know the focus by law enforcement moving forward. there will certainly be an enormous amount of it as you pursue justice as well, with potential other suspects here. thank you so much for your time and for what your city has been through over the course of the last 13 hours. our news continues on cnn with wolf blitzer in the situation room. >> happening now, breaking news. >> evidence that more than one person may have been connected to the deadly truck ramming attack in new orleans. we're learning about video of potential accomplices now being reviewed by investigators. also this hour, fbi officials confirm the now dead driver who plowed into a new year's eve crowd had an i.s.i.s. flag, an i.s.i.s. flag in his truck. and we're also told writings have been found that support the fbi's view that the massacre was indeed inspired by that islamic terrorist group. plus, the carnage in new orleans prompts a 24 hour delay in the sugar bowl that was supposed to take place

now, the new orleans city council is trying to figure out why bourbon street was left vulnerable to attack. >> we have had some contradictory messages from internally as far as when the work was awarded and when it should have started. we are going to do our own deep dive investigation over the coming weeks to go into that. >> this department of public works plan, obtained by cnn shows work began on the bollards on november 18th. this photo from a december 19th update shows the area at bourbon and canal streets under construction. that is exactly where the suspect entered and began his attack. the update also says bollard installation was, quote, happening at canal and bourbon. according to this plan, the work was supposed to continue through january. >> i don't think they should let any vehicles at all. >> it should always be blocked off at night time because something like this could could happen. >> and randi kaye joins me now. what is the city saying about keeping pedestrians safe moving forward? >> well, the police chief anderson here is saying that they are going to harden the target

let's bring in new orleans city council member at large j.p. morrell, council member.ur hearts go out to you. your city. i've been there so many times over the years. it is a great place. what do you hope to hear from the president? what do you need from the federal government at this point? >> well, what we need to hear from the president is one. how many other resources will be made available? as you know, when it comes to a tragedy of this magnitude? um, the federal government usually responds with, you know, bodies, law enforcement as well as we have had some interaction with sba, with businesses that were affected by the shutdown and the investigation. but other than having this fund that the council worked with the mayor and the grand new orleans fund to create to support this sheer number of victims, would resources that they're going to bring down for those victims and those families as they go through this process. um, additionally, it is very troubling to many of us that during the fbi briefing yesterday, it was made public that this individual posted on soci

the incoming new orleans city council president said they need more federal resources. he told cnn he was frustrated with the fbi. take a listen. >> very troubling to many of us that during the fbi briefing yesterday, it was made public that this individual posted on social media, on places like facebook, well before the attack, that he intended to do something and that this was not flagged. >> clearly, there's a lot of blame flying. what's your take away on the security failure? >> my takeaway is that the city council president isn't paying attention. he's talking about the briefing where chris reyes, the deputy assistant director of the fbi, talked about five audio and video posts to facebook that occurred between 1:29 a.m. and 3:02 a.m. when the attack was at 3:15 a.m. i'm not sure who he believes from the fbi would be sitting on a random facebook account of somebody who was not in the threat matrix at 3:00 in the morning, in time to turn that around. but, jake, i think what we're also seeing here is new orleans officials are, um, a little uncomfortable about the fac

. >> the new orleans city council says it will investigate the lack of permanent barriers on bourbon street on new year's day. that's after we obtained this 2019 security assessment, and it showed that the famed street was particularly vulnerable. i spoke to the ceo of the company that did this report, and he said that in the report, he made clear that the street was vulnerable to a terrorist attack by vehicle. do you think there needs to be a federal level investigation here? >> you know, i think there needs to be. i don't think we should all jump to to judgment. i think the city and the the mayor and the governor have made it very clear that they will do everything in their power to utilize the resources to shore up the french quarter, to look at the 2019 study and to make sure those recommendations are adhered to. but then to also do a deeper dive, if you will, of an evaluation of every entry point into the quarter to ensure that the best practices and best technologies are employed, and whether that is with federal intervention, local or state, it doesn't matter. this is an all h

back here in new orleans, the city council is pushing for an investigation of its own.ity officials had been preetedly warned -- repeatedly in several reports commissionedded by the city in 2017 and 20 the 20 the that the french quarter and bourbon street in mar was vulnerable to a terror attack, one specifically using a car. members of the city council say they were never told of those reports and didn't know about the recommendations that barrier withs should be immediately improved until this week when they saw it on the news. louisiana's attorney general is calling for city officials to be the held accountable. >> angry. since i got elected lieutenant governor, we've been fighting with the administration to make the french quarter safer. and her hack of hardship from the top on -- her lack of leadership on the top on down to know those barricades were taken out with new year's and the sugar bowl is unacceptable. >> reporter: we also learned that the first of what could be many lawsuits against the city will be filed next week. the city's, quote, negligence pavedded

up next, we talk with the new orleans city council member of how the community is coping and should peoplel safe going to that game? i'll try and shorten down the story. so i've been having these headaches that wouldn't go away. my mom, she was just crying. what they said, your son has brain cancer. it was your worst fear coming to life. watching your child grow up is the dream of every parent. you can join the battle to save the lives of kids like brayden, by supporting st. jude children's research hospital . families never receive a bill from st. jude for treatment, travel, housing, or food, so they can focus on helping their child live . what they have done for me, my son, my family-- i'm sorry, yeah. life is a gift, especially for a child battling cancer. call or go online and help save another lives of children like brayden. now, i'm 11 years old. we were actually doing the checkup for my brain. and they saw something in my throat. it's thyroid cancer. it was heartbreaking to find out that he has cancer again. but we knew who we had behind us. it just gives me hope. you can make a dif

uh, let's bring in now new orleans city council member j.p. morrell.t is tough to listen to what people went through last night on bourbon street. um, and so many people are looking for answers today. council member what we heard earlier today in that press conference was that the fbi didn't think that this person was solely responsible for what happened. does that stand at this hour? >> i think that that still stands. obviously, there are reports, substantiated reports of ieds being located in the vicinity of the vehicle, but obviously not placed by the by the individual who is driving it. i think that's probably why thus far, the fbi has continued to keep that as the forefront, because you can't quite there doesn't seem to have been an opportunity for that individual to have preplanned those those explosives or those explosive devices. so i think that is really what they've leaned into as far as saying there are other people involved. i think that. it's been really tough today. it's been really tough in the city. it's been really tough on our on our
