As 2024 drew to a close, the new year began with a shocking series of events that have captured national attention. In the first 48 hours of 2025, the headlines have been dominated by a string of horrifying incidents that are leaving people reeling. Here’s a look at what’s unfolded so far:
New Orleans
A man named Shamsud-Din Jabbar from Texas drove a pickup truck into a crowd on Bourbon Street in New Orleans during the New Year's celebration. Reports indicate that more than 14 people were killed, and many others were injured. The FBI has classified the incident as a terrorist attack. CBS also reported that a black ISIS flag was seen flying from the truck's rear bumper.
Las Vegas
A massive explosion occurred just hours after the New Orleans incident outside the Trump Hotel, involving a Tesla Cybertruck. Multiple sources are reporting that the individual responsible for the explosion is 37-year-old Green Beret Matthew Livelsberger. The motives behind the attack remain unclear, though there is growing speculation linking it to political motivations or possible mental health issues. Investigations are ongoing to determine the exact reasons behind the act.
Little Rock
A vehicle crashed into a residence where police had responded to an assault call, leading to the discovery of two women dead from multiple stab wounds. The primary suspect was apprehended by officers but was shot and killed after reportedly refusing to drop a knife and failing to comply with commands. Authorities are investigating the circumstances surrounding the incident.
NewYork
A man, whose identity has yet to be revealed, was found dead outside a deli in Harlem early morning, the victim of a brutal slashing to the neck. The attack occurred around 4 a.m., and the motive behind the violence remains unclear.
Meanwhile, the Bronx was also rocked by tragedy when a gunman opened fire on a group of people, leaving two dead. Authorities are investigating both incidents, but details are still emerging.
