President Trump called the mass casualty event in New Orleans early New Year’s Day an “act of pure evil.” “When I said that the criminals coming in are far worse than the criminals we have in our country, that statement was constantly refuted by Democrats and the Fake News Media, but it turned out to be true. The crime rate in our country is at a level that nobody has ever seen before. Our hearts are with all of the innocent victims and their loved ones, including the brave officers of the New Orleans Police Department,” Trump said Wednesday morning. “The Trump Administration will fully support the City of New Orleans as they investigate and recover from this act of pure evil!” he added.

The suspect died after a shootout with police. Per Fox News: Fox News has learned that the truck used in the attack had a Texas license plate, and that it was tracked crossing the southern border into the U.S. at Eagle Pass, Texas, on November 16. It has not been confirmed that the attacker was driving the vehicle when it crossed the border. Police have also not confirmed the attacker’s immigration status. The identification of the driver who crossed the border does not appear to be the shooter, the sources said.

BREAKING: FBI says New Orleans attack that left 10 dead, dozens injured is being investigated as an act of terrorism pic.twitter.com/lD4vwBhBCx — Benny Johnson (@bennyjohnson) January 1, 2025 From the New York Post: The FBI is investigating a bloody New Year’s truck rampage on New Orleans‘ iconic Bourbon Street as an act of terrorism — and have confirmed the driver of the pickup who killed at least 10 people and injured dozens more is dead. “This morning, an individual drove a car into a crowd of people on Bourbon Street in New Orleans, killing a number of people and injuring dozens of others. The subject then engaged with local law enforcement and is now deceased,” The FBI said in a statement. “We are working with our partners to investigate this as an act of terrorism,” the bureau added. The still-unidentified killer ploughed a Ford pickup truck into a crowd of New Year’s revelers in the heart of the city around 3:15 a.m., leaving what witnesses described as a trail of “twisted” and “horribly disfigured” bodies in its wake. After the truck — which was trailing a piece of black fabric — crashed into a crane blocking Bourbon Street, the killer engaged police in a firefight and was shot dead. Two officers were wounded in the shootout, but are in stable condition, officials said. At least 35 people were injured, while the FBI said “improvised explosive devices” were found in the car, suggesting the carnage could have been even worse if law enforcement hadn’t stopped the killer.

An improperly torqued nut on the ball joint can result in separation of the front upper control arm from the knuckle assembly, the NHTSA said. “If the upper control arm ball joint nut is loose or missing, the front upper control arm can separate from the knuckle assembly, which can cause the driver to experience a partial loss of directional control, increasing a risk of a crash,” it added.

Owner notification letters are expected to be mailed on Feb. 3, 2025. Consumers with questions can contact Ford customer service at 1-866-436-7332. The Ford recall number is 24S76. “The nut on the upper control arm ball joint may not have achieved the correct torque due to variation in the alignment or orientation between the fastening tool and the fastener that may have induced lateral forces on the tool, preventing it from properly seating on the fastener,” the NHTSA stated. “If the ball joint nut is loose or missing, the driver may experience vehicle vibration and hear a clunk or rattle noise during suspension jounce and rebound,” it added.
