Derek Carr is keeping New Orleans in his prayers.
The Saints quarterback posted a message to X on Wednesday morning after 10 people were killed and 35 injured when a driver in a white pickup truck ran over New Year’s revelers on Bourbon Street at around 3:15 a.m.
The FBI said it was investigating the incident as a terrorist attack.
“Praying for New Orleans🙏🏼 Woke up and saw the news this morning,” Carr wrote.
Longtime Saints defensive end Cam Jordan also reacted to the incident.
“Woke up to texts about what happened on bourbon street last night, God bless! A pure tragedy, sorry to all those lives that were affected,” Jordan wrote on X.
The driver was killed during a shootout with police, during which two cops were shot.
“This man was trying to run over as many people as he possibly could,” New Orleans Police superintendent Anne Kirkpatrick said.
She added the driver “was hellbent on creating the carnage and the damage that he did.”
Cops also found explosives at the scene.
Carr, 33, is in his second season with the Saints after signing a four-year, $150 million contract with $100 million guaranteed in 2023.
The four-time Pro Bowler was 9-8 as a starter last season, throwing for 3,878 yards, 25 touchdowns and eight interceptions.
He’s been limited to 10 games this season due to injuries, having thrown 2,145 yards, 15 touchdowns and five interceptions.
