Following the tragic Bourbon Street attack in New Orleans, Texas Governor Greg Abbott has taken swift action by directing the Texas Department of Public Safety to launch an investigation into the incident. Governor Abbott expressed his condolences to the victims of the heinous crime and emphasized the importance of ensuring the safety of all Texans.
Describing the attack as a terrorist act, Governor Abbott has mobilized resources including the Texas National Guard to collaborate with law enforcement agencies at all levels. The focus is on uncovering the details of the incident, containing any potential threats, and preventing similar attacks in the future.
According to federal law enforcement sources, the truck used in the attack crossed the border into Eagle Pass, Texas, on November 16. However, the driver who crossed the border does not match the description of the suspect involved in the Bourbon Street attack. Notably, the pickup truck used in the incident bore a Texas license plate.
The Governor's proactive approach underscores the seriousness with which the state of Texas is addressing the Bourbon Street attack. By coordinating efforts across various agencies, Governor Abbott aims to ensure a thorough investigation and safeguard the security of Texans.
