New Orleans as city marks one year since Bourbon Street terror attack

Yes, so I'm I've been hearing a lot of emotions, it's been a very tough year for folks in the big easy a place that's normally a city of fun culture and love and and a good time I'm actually standing on Bourbon Street right now where one year ago a truck came through here barrel down these 3 blocks behind me striking and killing 14 people and injuring dozens of others. It's a certainly a night that I'll never forget I happen to be out celebrating with my husband when it happened. I saw the carnage and it's an image that will haunt me forever. But for those who lost loved ones this year is particularly hard for them, including a 21 year-old Hubert gotro his family. He was killed that night. He is one of the many people who is honored in this temporary. Memorial that is up up here you see these flags behind me the flags honor each of those 14 victims and Hubert's family tells me that they hope that others will remember him and honor his memory in a way of serving others take a listen. I think about him every day. How do you want others to be inspired by his memory. I think they I want them to just be inspired by his light. Maybe you know think of a small thing. Would bring light to somebody else the way that he would and little things just small thoughtfulness I think would be a beautiful way to remember him. And January 1st through 4th is now an official mourning period across the state for all of those 14 people killed and the state's governor is asking for churches across the country at 3.15 on January 4th to ring their bells 14 times in honor of those victims. Katie Rice, thank you.
