The FBI says it is still investigating the attacker, identified as 42-year-old Shamsud-Din Jabbar, a US citizen from Texas, to determine “potential associations and affiliations with terrorist organizations.”
Jabbar was killed in a firefight with police following the attack around 3:15 a.m. in an area teeming with New Year’s revelers, the FBI says.
