Louisiana AG says Sugar Bowl should be postponed again after terrorist attack

Louisiana Attorney General Liz Murrill experienced hesitancy in hosting the Sugar Bowl on Thursday afternoon, as the city of New Orleans just underwent a major terrorist attack over New Year’s.

The Sugar Bowl, originally scheduled for New Year’s Day, was delayed to Thursday at 4 p.m. after a terrorist attack killed at least 15 people and injured at least another 30 during a New Year’s Eve celebration. Federal officials said Shamsud Din Jabbar, 42, a U.S. citizen of Texas, plowed through revelers in a white pickup truck. In providing an update on the scene, Murrill stated that Gov. Jeff Landry (R-LA) added 100 National Guard to increase security but expressed great concern about hosting the football game so soon after the attack.
