NEW ORLEANS (AP) — A former Princeton football star from Lafayette, an 18-year-old girl dreaming of becoming a nurse, a single mother, and a father of two, suffered fatal injuries when the driver of a white pickup truck sped down Bourbon Street, packed with holiday revelers. Officials have not yet released the names of the 14 people killed in the New Orleans New Year's Day truck attack, but their families and friends have started sharing their stories. New Orleans Coroner Dr. Dwight McKenna said in a statement late Wednesday that they will release the names of the dead once autopsies are complete and they've talked with the next of kin. About 30 people were injured.
