Media coverage began with FBI statements suggesting multiple suspects in the New Orleans attack that killed 15. By morning, the suspect was identified as Shamsud-Din Jabbar, a US Army veteran who served in Afghanistan. His brother cited radicalization, while investigators found ISIS-related content.
A parallel story emerged when Matthew Livelsberger, an active-duty Green Beret, was identified as the Cybertruck bomber at Trump's Las Vegas hotel. Both attackers had served at Fort Bragg, though FBI found no definitive connection. By afternoon, FBI reversed its initial assessment, declaring Jabbar acted alone.
Evening reports revealed discoveries in Jabbar's home: bomb-making equipment and an open Quran. Las Vegas authorities confirmed Livelsberger shot himself before detonating the Cybertruck. Bourbon Street reopened as New Orleans prepared for the Sugar Bowl.
