The US is reeling from a deadly terrorist attack in New Orleans in the early hours of New Year’s Day, while a second possible terrorist attack has unfolded in Las Vegas.

US Correspondent for 9News, Johnathan Kearsley told Dean Miller on 4BC Summer Breakfast, 'He drove past security, police cars, then around security fencing, if you could even call it that, and then straight onto the footpath.'

'And then it was tragedy that struck, at least 10 people were dead, 35 people injured. The death toll could climb, given there are still a number of people who are very, very seriously injured.'

'This driver was then alleged to have opened fire on police before he was shot dead, leaving revelers running for their lives to essentially try and save  themselves on what is supposed to be a happy, joyous night.'
