Live updates: New Orleans truck attack, FBI identifies suspect as Shamsud-Din Jabbar

CNN  

The family of the suspected terror attacker who killed 14 revelers in New Orleans said the man they knew is completely different from the one who allegedly drove a pickup truck into a crowd on Bourbon Street. “He wasn’t going through something that we knew of,” later adding, “It’s all around bad for everybody.” Abdur said he got home on Wednesday morning off from working the night shift at a railroad company when he got a call from another relative saying Shamsud was identified as the attacker. “He’s never shared anything like that or of that nature with me,” Abdur said, adding that they were raised Muslim and regularly attended a mosque on Friday nights growing up. “He understood what it meant to be a Muslim and that’s what I’ve seen from him in the time we got closer,” Abdur said. “We would have certainly tried, because we knew it wouldn’t have been a good ending.” Abdur says he still views Shamsud as a kind and compassionate man, despite the attack.
