The FBI has released new details about the New Year’s Day mass attack in New Orleans that claimed 14 lives, revealing how the now-deceased suspect had travelled to Canada from Egypt more than a year before the attack.

Plus, More than 70 million Americans are in the eye of a monster winter storm Sunday night. Thirty U.S. states, from the Midwest to the East Coast, are under weather alerts. And already, states of emergencies have been declared in Kansas, Arkansas, Kentucky, Virginia and Missouri.
