A terror attack on New Orleans' Bourbon Street killed 15 and injured 31. A damaged wheelchair found at the scene raises concerns about a disabled victim. The attacker, driving a Ford F-150 EV, rammed into revelers before opening fire.
A badly-damaged wheelchair was photographed next to the Ford F-150 EV that killed 15 in a New Orleans terror attack, sparking fears a disabled person is among the victims. The haunting snap shows the mangled mobility aid sitting abandoned right beside the powerful EV used in Wednesday morning's terror attack on the Big Easy's iconic Bourbon Street .
Its seating had been pushed back awkwardly, with the arm and leg rests also visibly-distorted, suggesting the wheelchair's user may have been caught up in the horror. The terrorist, who has not yet been named, was killed in a shootout with cops. None of the 15 killed or 31 injured have been named, but cops have said they believe most victims were locals, not tourists. The gunman was dressed in armored gear and opened fire with a rifle after crashing the Ford F-150 Lightning into a cherry picker. He shot and injured two police officers before being killed. The powerful EV can go from 0 to 60mph in under four seconds and was traveling at around 80mph when it crashed into New Year's revelers, with 31 also left injured. FBI agents are now investigating the massacre, with Fox News reporting the Ford truck - which has Texas plates - crossed from Mexico into the US at Texas' Eagle Pass crossing two days before the attack. Horrified observers noticed a crumpled motorized wheelchair was left strewn on the side of Bourbon Street after a terrorist plowed through New Year's crowds and opened fire, killing at least 15 and injuring 35 others Social media users speculated that one of the currently unidentified 35 victims was a motorized wheelchair user who could not evade the speeding SUV Videos circulating on social media that appear to have been recorded at the scene shows multiple casualties on the ground as shots ring out in the background. People were also seen running from the area Explosive devices that did not detonate were later found at the crash site by investigator
