New Orleans residents hold vigil for victims of New Year's Day attack

Residents and visitors gathered in New Orleans, Louisiana on Saturday, January 4, to pay tribute to the victims killed in the New Year’s Eve truck attack.

Mourners grieved at a makeshift memorial set up on Bourbon Street adorned with crosses bearing pictures of victims, and candles and flowers.

"It could have been me. It could have been anybody,” said Charles Cruz, 33, a local resident who lost a friend in the attack.

"Right now, I’m at a loss for words, really. This is a tragedy where we got to deal with all this violence from all around the world. Why here?" said James War, 47, who mourned the death of his friend Elliot Wilkinson.

Visitors from out-of-town also paid tribute to the victims.
