A British national was among at least 14 people killed in the vehicle attack in New Orleans on New Year’s Day, the Foreign Office has confirmed.
In a statement, the Foreign Commonwealth and Development Office (FCDO) said it was supporting the deceased person’s family.
An FCDO spokesperson said: “We are supporting the family of a British National who has died in New Orleans and are in contact with local authorities.”
During the attack, a man in a pickup truck ploughed through crowds on the city’s Bourbon Street before being killed by police.
