美国有线新闻网络(CNN)报道指,联邦调查局(FBI)已接管现场。
当地时间上午6时35分,新奥尔良市长LaToya Cantrell召开记者会,指事件为恐怖袭击(a terrorist attack),呼吁当地市民远离事发现场。

Please join Sharon and I in praying for all the victims and first responders on scene.
I urge all near the scene to avoid the area.
路易斯安那州长Jeff Landry在社交媒体撰文谴责袭击及呼吁居民远离事发现场:
负责本案的新奥尔良市警长Anne Kirkpatrick表示,伤者已获送往医院接受治疗。她强调袭击不牵涉酒驾(DUI),疑凶是故意驾车撞向人群,其后落车开枪射击,并造成2名警员受伤。
网上有事发现场的视频,可以见到有人为伤者进行心肺复甦:

Anne Kirkpatrick警长指大部份伤者为当地人,并非游客。事发现场法国区为当地著名旅游景点,有不少民众选择在那里庆祝除夕。
对于市长指是恐佈袭击,负责调查的联邦调查局探员Alethea Duncan一度指不是一宗恐怖袭击(not a terrorist event),不过FBI其后再有新说法,称把事件视为“恐怖主义行为”(act of terrorism)调查。
Alethea Duncan又指,他们在现场发现疑似爆炸装置,正在确认它是否是可运作的装置,她再次呼吁当地居民远离事发现场的波旁街。
美国有线新闻网络引述联邦执法人员报道,涉事的疑凶已身亡。联邦调查局和警方正搜查肇事车辆,以确认犯罪动机。
