We pray for the families and victims of the terrorist attack in New Orleans. This horrific act of violence is an indisputable attack on our shared values of peace and security. The National Federation of College Republicans stands with the people of New Orleans and all Americans in condemning this evil.
Early this morning, a 42-year-old man from Texas drove a pickup truck into a crowd on Bourbon Street, tragically killing at least 10 people and injuring over 30. The suspect, who was carrying an Islamic State flag, was killed in a shootout with police. The FBI is investigating this as an act of terrorism.
As we begin the new year, let us remain vigilant and united against such senseless acts of terror. Our thoughts and prayers are with the victims, their families, and the entire New Orleans community during this difficult time.
