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.
WWLTV (local New Orleans TV station) just said they had multiple confirmations that he is dead. They also said all French Quarter hotels are under lockdown, so no beignets this morning, tourists. Sorry.
What are the odds this murderer is a big fan of Elon Musk like the guy in Germany?

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

My take from the article is that they lack manpower, so I’m leaning towards the latter.
According to some of the news I just saw, they said the driver is dead.
