At least 10 people have been killed and dozens more were injured after a driver in a pickup truck, who has been identified by the FBI as Shamsud-Din Jabbar, plowed into a crowd on Bourbon Street in New Orleans, La., early Wednesday morning during New Year's Day celebrations, NPR reported, according to officials.

The FBI says that it is investigating the attack as "an act of terrorism" and that the suspect is dead. The suspect attended Georgia State University from 2015 to 2017, according to the university, reported WSB.

The University of Georgia and Notre Dame were slated to play at the Sugar Bowl in New Orleans Wednesday night, but that game has been postponed after the deadly attack, according to local officials.

UGA President Jere W. Morehead released an official statement from the university about a student being one of the victims of the attack.

"I am deeply saddened by the devastating attack in New Orleans overnight, and I extend my sincere condolences to the victims, their families, and all those affected by this terrible tragedy," he posted on X.

"At this point, we have learned that a University of Georgia student was critically injured in the attack and is receiving medical treatment. I have spoken to the student’s family and shared my concern, support and well wishes on behalf of the entire UGA community. I would like to express my gratitude to all the first responders who moved so quickly to help those affected by this senseless act of violence, as well as to the medical personnel who are caring for the injured. As we continue to hold the victims and their families in our thoughts and prayers, the University will do everything in its power to support those in our community who have been impacted by this unspeakable event."

This is a developing story.
