Louisiana invented hospitality.
The people of this city care for each other and believe you me, we care about each one of the lives that were lost in the city of that we will never forget them.
But it would be a tragedy if we let their losses be snuffed out because of fear.

That was Louisiana Governor Jeff Landry speaking about the tragic events of New Year's Day morning in the American city of New Orleans, Louisiana that claimed the lives of 15 people, including the attacker who drove a vehicle into a crowd of early morning New Year's celebrants.
The FBI has said the attacker acted alone, that there were no apparent accomplices.
The FBI is still asking for anyone to come forward with information.
They are still developing the case and trying to determine the motivations behind this attack.
And now earlier Today we on AmericasT sat down and discussed this.
This is obviously a story that has been moving and changing over time.
We were originally going to be talking about a time capsule and looking ahead to predictions for the new year.
