The suspect accused of plowing a truck through a crowd on Bourbon Street is named Shamsud Din Jabbar, according to a law enforcement source.

He's 42 years old. Police shot and killed him after the attack.

The source said he was carrying an ISIS flag in the truck.

President-elect Donald Trump also weighed in on the tragedy, calling it "pure evil."

"Our hearts are with all of the innocent victims and their loved ones, including the brave officers of the New Orleans Police Department. The Trump Administration will fully support the City of New Orleans as they investigate and recover from this act of pure evil!" Trump wrote in a statement on his conservative social media platform.
 
Trump will have been heavily briefed by the FBI/police as part of the transition to him taking over, he will know the name of the suspect
I think knowing about the ISIS flag would be sufficient to suspect foreign involvement. Which doesn't mean that the suspect could not have lived in the US for years.
 
Sources told Fox News that the suspect who killed at least 10 and injured over 30 New Orleans partygoers drove his truck across the border through Eagle Pass, Texas, just two days ago.

Well that's BS considering it wasnt his truck. If he was illegally here, why would he cross back into mexico after renting the truck. Wouldnt that be a huge risk
You can rent trucks/cars then drive them thousands of miles and drop them off at a different rental. If it's close to the Texas border I'm guessing they allow the trucks to cross the border. So the guy could have rented a truck that already crossed
 
Fox News has updated their headline and article saying that the truck crossed the border in November.

Unless he rented that truck all the way back in November, he wasn't the one driving it during the time period

Authorities are conducting a sweep of the Superdome as a precaution. The Sugar Bowl is still on schedule to be played tonight, as the New Orleans police chief suggested this morning.Officials are expected to hold their next briefing at 1 p.m. CT.
