‘Mandeville’ mentioned as crime scene in connection with New Orleans terror attack is actually Mandeville Street on South Shore
MANDEVILLE — The “Mandeville” mentioned this morning (January 2nd) as a crime scene in connection with the terror attack in New Orleans is actually “Mandeville Street” on the South Shore, not the City of Mandeville.
North Shore residents had to do a double-take this morning when watching a televised joint news conference of the FBI, Louisiana Governor Jeff Landry, and other officials.
FBI Deputy Assistant Director Christopher Raia mentioned a crime scene in “Mandeville” which triggered speculation that there was a local connection to the terror attack.
“We also have a scene of a Mandeville address, where we are currently searching that scene right now,” Raia said at the nationally televised news conference.
However, Mandeville Police Chief Todd Schliem told Mandeville Daily that Raia was referring to Mandeville Street in the St. Roch area of New Orleans.
Schliem said he had already received a call from the CNN television network concerning the matter.
