What are the odds this murderer is a big fan of Elon Musk like the guy in Germany?

Also:

adding the driver had not been taken into custody.

What does this mean? They're at large? They were found not at fault and were let go? The cops told them, "get out of here, you scamp!" What?

Subheading:

The driver remained at large after the Bourbon Street incident, police said.

Well damn it, I read the whole article but the subheading.

lol, it happens to the best of us.

The article has been updated:

the suspect allegedly got out of the truck wielding an assault rifle and opened fire on police officers, law enforcement officials briefed on the incident told ABC News. Officers returned fire, killing the suspect who was not immediately identified, sources said.

Just for anyone else reading through the comments, they're now reporting the driver was killed in a shoot out with police on the scene.

It means either they haven't been found or there's nobody looking.

My take from the article is that they lack manpower, so I'm leaning towards the latter.

Apparently they were flying an ISIS flag. So probably not in this case.

[-] FlyingSquid@lemmy.world 8 points 1 year ago

Please do not fall for the right-wing rumor mill. There was a flag. That's pretty much all we can say for sure right now.

It says it was confirmed to be an ISIS flag by the FBI, but that doesn't rule out a literal false flag attack to justify reprisals against Muslims.

Your own article confirms it was an ISIS flag so I have no idea why you responded so dismissively.

[-] FlyingSquid@lemmy.world 1 points 1 year ago

The article has been updated. It even says so at the top.
