- Ex-officer accused of plotting New Orleans attack is released after grand jury declines to indict
A former law enforcement officer accused of plotting a mass shooting at a New Orleans festival has been released from custody after a Louisiana grand jury declined to indict him on a state terrorism charge. The 45-year-old was arrested in Florida while authorities were investigating his alleged plan to commit violence targeting Black people. His release occurred after several jurisdictional issues complicated the case.
