Superdome on lockdown after truck attack in New Orleans kills 10

The Caesars Superdome in New Orleans was on lockdown Wednesday for security sweeps after a truck plowed into a New Year's crowd about a mile away, killing 10 people and injuring at least 35.

There was no immediate word that the Allstate Sugar Bowl, scheduled to kick off at 8:45 p.m. ET, might be delayed. The game between Notre Dame and Georgia is serving as a College Football Playoff quarterfinal.

A person familiar with the situation told The Associated Press that there was no immediate indication that the game would be delayed but that officials were waiting to get an all-clear from authorities that it would be safe to keep the event at the 70,000-seat stadium on schedule.
