Aftermath of the Bourbon Street AttackAs investigators continued to probe the deadly attack on Bourbon Street, more information is coming out about those who lost their lives. Here’s a list of the victims. Mike Smith has a bit more on the attacker. And Poet Wolfe reports President Biden will be in town Monday. Meanwhile, reporter Lara Nicholson spoke with one of the survivors, a mother from Alabama who was hit by the truck and also shot.
