Live from NPR news in Washington, I'm Louise Skiyavoni.

The FBI is calling the deadly truck attack in New Orleans French Quarter an act of terrorism

and now says the driver of that truck likely did not act alone.

42-year-old Shamsha Dindjabar, a U.S. citizen from Texas, had been identified by the FBI as the suspect.

He died in a shootout with police after authorities say he killed at least 10 people and injured 35 more by plowing his Ford pickup into pedestrians at high speed. NPR's Martin

Kosti tells us that considering major events, like a college bowl football playoff and the

Super Bowl, attention is focusing on security in the city of New Orleans. At around 3.15 in the

morning, the pickup truck veered off Canal Street and drove onto the narrower

Bourbon Street. The city's been criticized for not having functioning bollards to protect that

tourist area. But New Orleans Police Superintendent Ann Kirkpatrick says her department had taken

precautions. This particular terrorist drove around onto the sidewalk and got around the hard target, where he did have a car

there. We had barriers there. We had officers there. And they still got around. The FBI is

investigating the incident as a terrorist attack. And it identified the driver as an army veteran

from Texas named Shamsadine Jabar.

He was killed in a shootout with police.
