British man named as victim in New Orleans attack, while a female remains unidentified

British man named as victim in New Orleans attack, while a female remains unidentified

The Hindu

British man Edward Pettifer identified as victim in New Orleans truck attack; Prince William expresses sadness; 14 victims killed.

A British man who was killed when the driver of a white pickup truck sped down Bourbon Street packed with holiday revelers was identified Saturday as the stepson of a former nanny to the Royal Family. Prince William expressed shock and sadness at the news of the death of Edward Pettifer of London.

Only one person remains unidentified of the 14 victims killed in the New Orleans truck attack. The coroner's office said all the victims died from blunt force injuries. The coroner said Friday that they were working to identify a female victim. The suspect, Shamsud-Din Jabbar, was fatally shot in a firefight with police.

The youngest victim was 18 years old and the oldest 63. Most victims were in their 20s. They came from from Alabama, Louisiana, Mississippi, New York, New Jersey and Great Britain.

Louisiana Gov. Jeff Landry said the innocent lives lost will never be forgotten, as he declared on Friday a period of mourning for the victims, which is scheduled to begin Jan. 6. A different victim is to be remembered each day.

“However, Louisiana and her people will never cower in fear," he said. “Instead, we will unite and come back stronger in honor of every person who lost their lives that day.”

About 30 people were injured and 16 remain hospitalized, half in intensive care.

Thirty-one year old Edward Pettifer, a British citizen, was identified Saturday as one of the 14 victims killed in the truck attack.
