New Orleans attack latest: Suspect bought gun in Arlington [Video]

The man who plowed a truck down Bourbon Street in a New Year’s Day terrorist attack bought a gun in Arlington more than a month before the attack.

At a press briefing Sunday, FBI officials said 42-year-old Shamsud-Din Jabbar, a U.S. citizen from Houston, also traveled to Cairo, Egypt, as well as Ontario, Canada, before the attack, but it’s not yet clear whether those trips were connected.
