Summary

A summary of the key points of this story verified across multiple sources.

Shamsud-Din Jabbar conducted extensive online searches, including details on accessing Bourbon Street balconies and research on a recent truck attack in Germany, just hours before his attack. He used a rented truck to plow into a crowd on New Year's Day, killing 14 and injuring 57.
