As Cullen Linebarger reported earlier, a deranged man drove his truck through the packed crowd on Bourbon Street in New Orleans last night.
Once the vehicle came to a stop the driver jumped out and started firing on the crowd. At least ten people are dead and two police officers are injured.
A horrific act of violence took place on Bourbon Street earlier this morning.
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.

There are now reports of a suspicious black flag that was attached to the back of truck bed by the terrorist. It is not clear what the flag means at this time but could be the flag of ISIS or another terror group.
The flag was attached to the truck bed before the attack.
Here is another angle of the truck with the flag.

Another angle.
The truck used in the terrorist attack in New Orleans had a PVC flagpole on the back that many are claiming had an ISIS related flag.
Can anyone confirm this? pic.twitter.com/vEkw44U0oA
