There were reports of multiple fatalities early Wednesday after a vehicle plowed into a crowd on Bourbon Street in New Orleans' French Quarter. The popular tourist district would have been busy in the early hours of New Year's Day.

Witnesses told CBS News reporter Kati Weis that a truck crashed into a crowd on Bourbon Street at high speed, and then the driver got out and started firing a weapon, with police returning fire.

Weis saw multiple people on the ground being treated for injuries.

A New Orleans Police Department spokesperson told CBS News "initial reports show a car may have plowed into a group of people. Injuries are unknown but there are reported fatalities."

This breaking news story will be updated.
