The horrific New Years’ Day terror attack in New Orleans left more than a dozen dead, and even more injured after the now-deceased suspect — identified by authorities as Shamsud-Din Jabbar — plowed a vehicle into people and opened fire.

While speaking to NBC News from a hospital bed, Jeremi Sensky, one of the survivors, recalled laying on the ground, seeing his wheelchair’s parts beside him. 

He said he assumes he was struck by the truck.

President Joe Biden and First Lady Jill Biden are slated to travel to New Orleans on Monday, where they “will grieve with the families and community members impacted by the tragic attack on January 1 and meet with officials on the ground,” according to the White House.
