Sources now tell FOX – the truck crossed Eagle Pass, TX on November 16th — not two days ago. The identification of driver that crossed border does not appear to be the shooter. The truck changed hands at some point.

Original story:

Reports are confirming what many Americans already suspected: The New Year’s Eve attack on Bourbon Street in New Orleans has a foreign connection. Fox News reported that the white pickup truck used in the massacre, which is being called a “mass casualty event” that left 10 people dead and injured at least 30 others crossed the border just two days prior. 

The vehicle, bearing a Texas license plate, crossed from Mexico into the United States at Eagle Pass, Texas, per two federal law enforcement sources. 

Additional reports now indicate that the vehicle may have been rented. 

The Ford F-150 Lightning truck used in the attack was apparently rented through the Turo app — a car sharing company, according to Rodrigo Diaz, the owner of the truck. Diaz told ABC News he rented the truck to an individual through the app and is currently talking to the FBI. He declined further comment.

Diaz wife, Dora Diaz, told ABC News that she and her husband are devastated by the incident.

“My husband rents cars through the Turo app. I can’t tell you anything else. I’m here with my kids, and this is devastating,” Dora Diaz said.

Police sources also confirmed that they found multiple explosive devices at the scene that appeared to be viable.
