Bryan police (BPD) reports there are no confirmed local links to deaths in New Orleans early Wednesday morning (New Year’s Day). BPD’s Facebook page Wednesday night issued a post titled “False Media and Social Media Information”. BPD responded to media and other social media posts alleging the presence of potential terrorist cells in Bryan. Since learning of what BPD now describes as false information, the department has been “in continuous communication with our federal partners”. The BPD post says “As of now, no confirmed links to Bryan have been identified during the ongoing federal investigation.”
