METAIRIE, La. -- New Orleans Saints interim coach Darren Rizzi said all members of the organization are safe following an attack in the French Quarter that killed 15 people and injured dozens more early Wednesday morning.

A man drove a rented pickup truck down Bourbon Street into a crowd of people, hitting dozens before engaging in a shootout with police officers that left him dead.

The attack led to the postponement of the College Football Playoff quarterfinal at the Allstate Sugar Bowl between Georgia and Notre Dame. Former Princeton football player Tiger Bech was among those killed.
