New Orleans police superintendent Anne Kirkpatrick described the attack: "It was very intentional behavior. This man was trying to run over as many people as he possibly could. He was hellbent on creating the carnage and the damage that he did."
FBI Special Agent-in-charge Alethea Duncan noted the discovery of an improvised explosive device at the scene, stating, "We are working on confirming whether the device was viable," indicating a potential for additional threats.
Mayor LaToya Cantrell referred to the incident as a "terrorist attack," reflecting the severity and premeditated nature of the attack, yet was later contradicted by Duncan.
