Contrary to earlier information, WWL has mentioned that the FBI is overseeing the investigation as a possible act of terrorism cannot be dismissed. The FBI is in charge as an explosive device was discovered at the scene.
Din Jabbar reportedly had an ISIS flag in his truck and had a “long gun” with a suppressive device.
Approximately 30 individuals suffered injuries during the incident, occurring at 4 a.m. While the officers are in a stable condition, details about the condition of the other victims have not been provided.
