The New Year in New Orleans got off to a tragic start Wednesday as a driver “hellbent” on creating  “carnage” sped down famed Bourbon Street “trying to run over as many people as he possibly could,” officials said.

As a result, at least 10 people died and more than 30 were injured, New Orleans police said.

The incident occurred around 3:17 a.m. as partiers were ringing in 2025. The driver, identified as Shamsud-Din Jabbar, entered Bourbon Street at the Canal Street intersection in a pickup truck with a ISIS flag on the back, and hit multiple people before crashing into construction vehicle on the 300 block of Bourbon Street. He also shot a gun at responding officers, hitting two. Cops returned fire, killing the suspect. The injured officers are said to be in stable condition.
