The FBI identified the driver of in the Bourbon Street rampage on New Year's Day in New Orleans as 42-year-old Shamsud Din Jabbar. Federal agents say the deadly assault is being investigated as "an act of terrorism." Jabbar was fatally shot by police after he opened fire on officers.
Court records in Texas show Jabbar, who has been married and divorced twice, had written of financial troubles during his legal ups and downs with wives. As he negotiated his second divorce two years ago, his attorney attached records to court files indicating Jabbar’s finances were limited.
