New Orleans Attack Needlessly Leaves Many Injured

GIANNA SGOBBO, Contributing Writer

On January 1st, 2025, in New Orleans on Bourbon Street, 14 people were killed in a tragic incident, leaving many others injured. This attack is a devastating way to begin the new year, as it took the lives of innocent people and caused harm to many others. The deaths occurred after an explosive device detonated, causing significant damage. It is difficult to understand why anyone would go to such lengths to hurt innocent people who had no involvement in whatever their motives may have been.

The attacker was reported to be deceased, along with the 14 people he killed. The exact number of deceased individuals remains unknown, with only an estimate provided. Hopefully, the final count will be confirmed soon. This tragedy could have been avoided if words had been used instead of violence, or if the issue had been addressed directly without harming innocent people.
