People in New Orleans are reporting great fear and horrific scenes after the suspected terrorist attack in the city where a driver drove into a crowd of people at a New Year's Eve party and killed at least 15 people.
Witness Jimmy Cothran took refuge in a nightclub, where people ran to hide under the tables. From the nightclub's balcony, he looked out and saw dead people lying on the ground, he tells NBC News.
The attack took place in a normally very lively area, but now it is characterized instead by shock and sadness, reporter Maddie Kerth tells CNN News.
- I have never seen the French Quarter (the name of the area, editor's note) as a ghost town before, especially not during a holiday.
