The New Orleans police commissioner said Wednesday morning that college football’s post-season Sugar Bowl game will be played as scheduled tonight at the Caesars Superdome, just miles from where a motorist plowed into a crowd in the predawn hours – killing 10 and injuring 35 others. 

The College Football Playoff game is between Georgia and Notre Dame.

Police Commissioner Anne Kirkpatrick said additional officers were called to duty in response to the incident, with about 300 of them working in the aftermath of the attack.

“The Sugar Bowl Committee is devastated by the terrible events from early this morning,” Sugar Bowl CEO Jeff Hundley said in a statement. “Our thoughts and prayers are with the victims and their families. We are in ongoing discussions with authorities on the local, state, and federal levels and will communicate further details as they become available.”

The attack occurred around 3:15 a.m. in New Orleans’ famed French Quarter district.
