The 2025 New Orleans truck attack was an Islamist domestic terrorist attack that occurred on January 1, 2025, when Shamsud-Din Jabbar, a 42-year-old African American Muslim man, rammed a pickup truck into a crowd on Bourbon Street in New Orleans, Louisiana, then exited the truck and engaged in a shootout with police before being fatally shot. Fourteen victims were killed, plus the perpetrator, and at least fifty-seven others were injured, including two police officers who were shot. The attack occurred during New Year celebrations in the city, which was scheduled to host the 2025 Sugar Bowl later that day. The malfunctioning anti-ramming bollards had been removed for upgrades in preparation for Super Bowl LIX.
