Per Fox News:
New Orleans FBI Alethea Duncan held a press conference about the attack on Bourbon Street Wednesday morning, hours after a suspect killed 10 people in a popular New Orleans tourist spot.
During the presser, Duncan confirmed that the FBI is still investigating the suspect, Shamsud Din Jabbar, a 42-year-old from Texas.
“We are working to confirm how he came in possession of this vehicle,” Duncan said. “An ISIS flag was located on the trailer hitch of the vehicle, and the FBI is working to determine the subject’s potential associations and affiliation to the terrorist organization.”
“Weapons and potential improvised explosive devices IED were located in the subject’s vehicle.”
The special agent also noted that the FBI does not believe Din Jabbar was “solely responsible” for the act of terrorism.

From The Post Millennial:
The suspect in the New Orleans massacre, Shamsud-Din Jabbar, may not have acted alone. Fox reported that a source within the New Orleans Police Department said that the suspect was carrying a “a glock pistol and a .308 rifle that had been reportedly stole in New Jersey. The .308 rifle had been equipped with an optics indoor suppressor.
“There are at least 4 or 5 other suspects involved,” reported Fox.
The FBI later confirmed this. FBI Spokesperson Aletha Duncan spoke at a press conference on Tuesday afternoon during which she confirmed earlier reports that authorities do not believe that Shamsud-Din Jabbar worked alone in carrying out what is being investigated as a terrorist attack.
“The FBI is the lead investigative agency and we’re investigating this as an attack of terrorism along with our partners,” Duncan said, before describing the incident. The suspect drove an EV Ford F-150 into a crowd on Bourbon Street in New Orleans at about 3:15 am, killing 10 and injuring another 35. “After hitting the crowd, he exited the vehicle and fired upon local law enforcement. Law enforcement returned fire and the subject was pronounced deceased at the scene.”
