A Fort Myers teenager is among the victims of what the FBI is calling an ‘act of terrorism’ after a vehicle attack left at least 10 dead and dozens of others injured, Fox 4 has learned.
Fox 4 has confirmed that Elle Eisele was brought to University Medical Center of New Orleans.
It’s unclear the severity of her injuries.
Social media posts indicate Eisele graduated from the Canterbury School in Fort Myers and currently attends the University of Georgia.
UGA was scheduled to play Notre Dame in the Allstate Sugar Bowl on Wednesday evening.
The game has now been postponed until Thursday, January 2 at 3 p.m.
The FBI said 42-year-old Shamsud-Din Jabbar, a U.S. citizen and Army veteran from Texas, drove into a crowd of revelers around 3:15 a.m. local time in the popular area of Bourbon and Canal Street.
Law enforcement officials said that the suspect was killed following a shootout with police. Two officers were also wounded in the incident but are in stable condition, according to police.
