WATCH: President Biden delivers remarks on New Orleans truck attack

COLUMBIA, Mo. (KMIZ)

President Joe Biden delivered remarks Wednesday evening on the attack that left at least 10 people dead in New Orleans early on New Year's Day.

Law enforcement officials identified 42-year-old Shamsud-Din Jabbar, a US citizen from Texas, as the suspect who they believe drove a pickup truck into a crowd of revelers on Bourbon Street in the early hours of New Year’s Day, CNN reported. Jabbar, who was killed while exchanging fire with police, had potential improvised explosive devices and an ISIS flag in the truck, according to local and federal authorities.

Jabbar was killed in a shootout with police. The FBI is investigating the attack as a terror act and they say he might not have acted alone.

Improvised explosive devices were also found at the scene.
