2 Officers Shot During New Orleans New Year’s Event in ‘Stable’ Condition, Police Chief Says | 1 Jan 2025 | Two police officers who were shot by a man authorities said tried to “run over as many people as he possibly could” during New Year’s festivities on New Orleans’ iconic Bourbon Street are now in stable condition, law enforcement officials said in a press conference Wednesday. Ten people are confirmed dead and at least 35 others injured after the incident on Jan. 1, when a truck drove into crowds of New Year’s revelers down Bourbon Street at a high rate of speed. The New Orleans Police Department has confirmed that the suspect was then killed after he exchanged gunshots with the police around 3:15 a.m. local time. In a Wednesday morning press conference, Police Department Superintendent Anne Kirkpatrick said the situation was “complex and serious,” adding that the suspect “fired on our officers from his vehicle when he crashed his vehicle.”
