New Orleans – 2 January 2025
1. Wide of press conference
2. SOUNDBITE (English) Gov. Jeff Landry, (R) Louisiana:
“What happened yesterday was akin to those who are old enough to remember jigsaw puzzles and that you would take a thousand piece jigsaw puzzle and you empty the box and you’ve got to start sifting through those pieces and you want to start, if you’re real good, you start at the corners. Right. Try to put your corners together. And from yesterday to today, over a thousand law enforcement agents and officers, men and women, have been poring over countless amounts of data, of videos, of surveillances, interviews, tracking down every possible lead that came to us.”
++BLACK FRAMES++
3. SOUNDBITE (English) Gov. Jeff Landry, (R) Louisiana:
“And what’s going on in this city and this state is two-fold. We’ve got an active criminal investigation going on while we’re also continuing to secure the city in preparation for 3:00 kick off time for the Sugar Bowl.”
++BLACK FRAMES++
4. SOUNDBITE (English) Christopher Raia, Deputy Assistant Director for FBI Counter-Terrorism Division:
“First and foremost, let me be very clear about this point. This was an act of terrorism. It was premeditated and an evil act.”
++BLACK FRAMES++
5. SOUNDBITE (English) Christopher Raia, Deputy Assistant Director for FBI Counter-Terrorism Division:
“But at this point, currently, and this is another position, another fact I want to be clear on, we do not assess at this point that anyone else involved in this attack is involved in this attack except for Shamsud-Din Jabbar, the subject you’ve already been briefed on.”
++BLACK FRAMES++
6. SOUNDBITE (English) Christopher Raia, Deputy Assistant Director for FBI Counter-Terrorism Division:
“So far, we have received just over 400 tips from the public, and that information is being followed up on both, on, on both here in New Orleans and across the country. Some of the tips are here in New Orleans, and there are other tips in other states across the country that we are following up on.”
++BLACK FRAMES++
7. SOUNDBITE (English) Christopher Raia, Deputy Assistant Director for FBI Counter-Terrorism Division:
“At this point, investigators believe Jabbar picked up the rented F-150 in Houston, Texas, on December 30th. He then drove from Houston to New Orleans on the evening of the 31st, and he posted several videos to an online platform proclaiming his support for ISIS.”

9. SOUNDBITE (English) Christopher Raia, Deputy Assistant Director for FBI Counter-Terrorism Division:
“As you know, there’s also an FBI investigation in Las Vegas. We are following up on all potential leads and not ruling everything out. However, at this point, there is no definitive link between the attack here in New Orleans and the one in Las Vegas. And again, I’ll preface as I close, I’ll preface everything with what I started with in the beginning, which was this is very early in an investigation like this.”
