The new year brought with it terror in New Orleans and the Las Vegas Strip with multiple fatalities.
Fourteen people were killed and dozens injured after a driver plowed a car into a large crowd at Canal and Bourbon streets in New Orleans in the early morning hours of New Year’s Day. Hours later, a Tesla Cybertruck exploded outside the Trump International Hotel in Las Vegas.
Shamsud-Din Jabbar, the New Orleans driver, and the man eyed in the explosion of the Cybertruck, Matthew Livelsberger, were Army soldiers who served at Fort Liberty and deployed to Afghanistan in 2009, according to authorities.
