The really weird attack last night on the TSA in a New Orleans airport got even more odd when it was discovered that the attacker had six molotov cocktail bombs in his backpack.
Watch below:
The police have also said that the suspect died from his injuries:
Richard White, 63. the suspect believed to have carried out a machete attack Friday night in New Orleans, is dead, AP reported late Saturday.
White was shot three times at the Louis Armstrong New Orleans International Airport during his horrific attack and was pronounced dead at 5:02 pm Saturday.
Authorities say the suspect in the brazen machete attack may have been planning to bomb the site as well.
Jefferson Parish Sheriff Newell Normand said Richard White, 63, carried a bag with six gasoline-filled Molotov cocktails and a barbecue lighter when he assaulted Transportation Security Administration workers at Louis Armstrong International Airport.
Authorities also found an acetylene tank, smoke bombs and other supplies in his car, Normand said at a news conference Saturday afternoon.
Police were investigating “a mental illness component” in the attack, Normand said.
