Over 20 people are injured, 12 of which are said to be in critical condition, after a truck plowed into the crowd at a Mardi Gras parade in New Orleans, Louisiana. The crash happened on Saturday at about 6:45 p.m. at the Krewe of Endymion parade in the Mid-City section of New Orleans. The suspect is in custody, but their motive if any is unknown at this time. Terrorism is not suspected, but drunk driving could very well be.
