There are now media reports that law enforcement sources are saying that the man who killed at least ten people in New Orleans and injured dozens more early this morning might have had several accomplices.
Meanwhile, media in New Orleans more details are being reported about the attacker and his possible affiliation:

According to a law enforcement source, he was carrying an ISIS flag. https://t.co/nLZxvV4CSc
From NOLA.com:
The FBI is investigating the mass casualty attack as a potential "act of terrorism," and Mayor LaToya Cantrell and New Orleans Police Department Superintendent Anne Kirkpatrick have called the incident an intentional attack.
The perpetrator, who sources say is 42-year-old Shamsud Din Jabbar, crashed two vehicles and shot at police officers, injuring two of them before he was shot and killed by police.
[...]
The source said he was carrying an ISIS flag in the truck.
If these details end up being true that can only mean we're getting close to another statement from the Biden White House denouncing Islamophobia.

FBI a few hours ago: "This is not a terrorist event"

What are the odds we find out this guy was "on their radar"? pic.twitter.com/9PjToS0MTm
That wouldn't be very surprising. What also wouldn't be surprising is if this person or possible accomplices were in some way aided by Biden's open border, but it's too early to know.
With the border wide open, it was always the matter of time, and we all knew it. https://t.co/j2xwjbokDD

We'll pass along more details as they become available.
President Biden not wanting to comment further likely means the facts aren't going to be friendly to the Left's preferred narrative:
President Biden: "You all got my statement. I'll have more to say in next hour or so following what's going on in New Orleans...I've contacted every agency in the federal government as well as the state...I'm not going to say anything until I get all the facts in front of me." pic.twitter.com/yrbFZzqYDz

Biden then headed off to Camp David after a night in Delaware following his Virgin Islands vacation.
