FBI says driver in New Orleans rampage acted alone, was ‘100%' inspired by Islamic State group

NEW ORLEANS (AP) — The U.S. Army veteran who drove a pickup truck into a crowd of New Year’s revelers acted alone, the FBI said Thursday, reversing its position from a day earlier that he likely worked with others in the deadly attack that officials said was inspired by the Islamic State group.

Soldier shot self in head before Cybertruck exploded outside Trump’s Las Vegas hotel, officials say

LAS VEGAS (AP) — The highly decorated U.S. Army soldier inside the Tesla Cybertruck that burst into flames outside President-elect Donald Trump’s Las Vegas hotel shot himself in the head before the explosion and likely planned to cause more damage but the steel-sided vehicle absorbed much of the force from the rudimentary explosive, officials said Thursday.

New Orleans and Vegas cases

Investigators spent today scouring for information on the New Year's Day pickup truck attack in New Orleans and the driver who planted an explosive in a Tesla Cybertruck in Las Vegas. The suspects in each case are deceased.

  • Like the New Orleans suspect, the Vegas suspect — Matthew Alan Livelsberger, 37 — was also a U.S. Army veteran, the military branch confirmed. He was a Colorado Springs resident.
  • Las Vegas Sheriff Kevin McMahill said today that investigators think the Cybertruck explosion was likely a suicide, The Washington Post reported.

In the New Orleans case, the FBI now believes the shooter acted alone in an "act of terrorism," even as investigations continue in the city and elsewhere, Axios New Orleans' Chelsea Brasted reports.

  • No "definitive link" currently exists between the two cases, FBI deputy assistant director of counterintelligence Chris Raia said during a news conference today.
  • The New Orleans suspect — Shamsud-Din Jabbar, 42 — "was 100% inspired by ISIS," Raia said.
  • Bourbon Street reopened this afternoon

🛻 Between the lines: Both suspects used the peer-to-peer rental app Turo to get the vehicles they used in each incident. How the app works.

New Orleans attack

Authorities have revealed chilling details about the timeline of events leading up to the New Year's terror attack in New Orleans, which may have been years in the making. The 42-year-old attacker visited the city twice in the months before the holiday and used Meta Glasses to film Bourbon Street and plan out his attack, FBI New Orleans Special Agent in Charge Lyonel Myrthil said Sunday. The mass killing has raised questions as to how the city secured the French Quarter and how a heavy-duty truck was able to drive onto one of the most pedestrian-heavy roads in the US, killing 14 and injuring at least 35 others. In the coming hours, President Joe Biden is expected to attend a vigil in New Orleans and deliver remarks honoring the victims.

The highly decorated soldier who exploded a Tesla Cybertruck outside the Trump hotel in Las Vegas used generative AI including ChatGPT to help plan the attack, Las Vegas police said Tuesday.

Cybertruck explosion

A driver who authorities say exploded a Tesla Cybertruck outside the Trump International Hotel in Las Vegas last week used artificial intelligence to plan the blast, according to the Las Vegas Metropolitan Police Department. The active-duty US Army Green Beret used ChatGPT to get information on how to conduct his plot, police said. Authorities did not say what answers the chatbot gave to his searches about explosives, firearms and how to buy a cell phone without providing personal information. The soldier fatally shot himself shortly before the truck exploded and seven other people were injured. OpenAI, the developer of ChatGPT, told CNN the company is "saddened by this incident and committed to seeing AI tools used responsibly."
