President Biden spoke about the incident last night, saying "I know while this person committed a terrible assault on this city, the spirit of New Orleans will never, never be defeated."

The victims include an 18-year-old woman visiting from Mississippi, a football standout from Lafayette, a Metairie mom and a Baton Rouge dad. Read their stories.

Police shot and killed the 42-year-old man they say drove the white Ford truck from Canal Street onto Bourbon Street.
