New Orleans Bourbon Street Attack: President-Elect trump Condemns “Act of Pure Evil”
A horrific incident unfolded early Wednesday morning on Bourbon Street in New Orleans, leaving at least 10 people dead and 35 injured after a pickup truck plowed into a crowd of New Year’s revelers. The suspect, who died in a subsequent shootout with police, remains unidentified, though the examination is ongoing.
President-elect Trump issued a statement condemning the attack, calling it an “act of pure evil.” He added, ”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.”
Trump continued, emphasizing the severity of the situation: “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.The Trump Administration will fully support the City of New Orleans as they investigate and recover from this act of pure evil!”

However, authorities have not confirmed whether the suspect was driving the vehicle at the time of its entry into the country, nor have they confirmed the suspect’s immigration status. Initial reports regarding the date of border crossing contained inaccuracies, according to sources.
