Master P shares message of Hope in New Orleans after 'senseless' terror attack: 'We will overcome'
After a deadly terrorist attack hit New Orleans, another rap legend is offering a message of hope for the Louisiana city.
“We're not going to let this senseless act of terrorism stop us from being who we are as a culture and as a people. And we're going to stand up together and fight back and show them that this is America and that we're going to win,” New Orleans entertainment ambassador Percy “Master P” Miller said on “One Nation” on Saturday. “We're resilient when you're talking about the city of New Orleans, and we're going to bounce back.”
At least 14 people were killed and dozens injured after a driver plowed into a crowd of people at Canal and Bourbon Streets in New Orleans early on New Year's Day.

Driver, 42 years old Shamsud-Din Jabbara US citizen from Texas and an Army veteran, died following a shootout with police.
“This is personal. That's why we stand up and we are not afraid. And we are not afraid. And our city will be even stronger. But for those who lost their lives, we are not there. I will forget them,” said Master P.
More than 30 others were injured. Despite previously investigating whether he may have been involved in the attack, the FBI said the bureau is confident that Jabbar acted alone.
The FBI found a black ISIS flag on Jabbar's rental truck that was used in the attack.
