“Praying for New Orleans🙏🏼 Woke up and saw the news this morning,” Carr wrote.

Longtime Saints defensive end Cam Jordan also reacted to the incident.

“Woke up to texts about what happened on bourbon street last night, God bless! A pure tragedy, sorry to all those lives that were affected,” Jordan wrote on X.

The driver was killed during a shootout with police, during which two cops were sH๏τ.

“This man was trying to run over as many people as he possibly could,” New Orleans Police superintendent Anne Kirkpatrick said.

She added the driver “was hellbent on creating the carnage and the damage that he did.”

Cops also found explosives at the scene.
