authorities are searching for possible accomplices in a deadly New Orleans attack.

That's where we're starting The Seven from the Washington Post. I'm Hannah Jewell. It's Thursday,

January 2nd. Let's get you caught up with today's seven stories.

In the early hours of New Year's Day, a pickup truck plowed into a

crowd of revelers on Bourbon Street in New Orleans. At least 15 people were killed, and dozens were

wounded. Yesterday, authorities named 42-year-old Shamsud Dean Jabbar as the driver.

He was killed in a shootout with police.

Jabar was a U.S. citizen, born in Texas, and he was an army veteran who served in Afghanistan.

Police said the truck he used for the rampage had an Islamic state flag.

The FBI said Jabar may not have acted alone, and that the agency

was investigating his known associates. They also said they had found weapons and a potential

improvised explosive device in the truck. Other explosive devices were located elsewhere in the

city's French quarter. New Orleans mayor Latoya Contrell said that ballards meant to protect Bourbon Street from

vehicles were not up on New Year's Eve. That's because they were being replaced ahead of next

month's Super Bowl. Kimberly Strickland is from Alabama. She and her husband witnessed the

attack. She described what husband witnessed the attack.

She described what she saw.

When we got over halfway through, the intersection is when that guy just gunned it. I mean, just gunned it and drove through this mass of people and the barricades.

And then I think everybody else started panicking and running.

I'll never forget the screams.

That girl?
