Published in Political News
President Joe Biden and First Lady Jill Biden will travel to New Orleans on Monday, the White House said Friday.
The Bidens will meet with the families of the deadly New Year’s Day terrorist attack in the city’s French Quarter. The president will also meet with investigators.
Fourteen people, including an 18-year-old woman who had ambitions of becoming a nurse, were killed early Wednesday when investigators believe a man intentionally drove a truck into a crowd. Shamsud-Din Jabbar, a U.S. citizen from Texas, was then shot to death by officers, investigators said.
A University of Georgia student was among the dozens injured, the school said. Thousands of college football fans were in the Big Easy for the Sugar Bowl matchup between Georgia and Notre Dame.
The FBI continues to investigate the incident.
