At the time the N.O. Mayor’s office was arguing that it was not a terrorist attack. The FBI is now looking into it as a terror attack. Things change. It happens.
EDIT: Sorry, busy morning and got it turned around. Mayor’s office said it wasn’t terrorism, FBI said it wasn’t but has since changed their tune.
The FBI special agent in charge said on a live broadcast a couple of hours ago that it was not terrorism. Maybe she misspoke. Maybe they realized the PR nightmare of that choice. But it is certainly not misinformation
The FBI is investigating the NO attack as an act of terrorism. This is how misinformation spreads.

Other way around, Mayor always said it was terror, FBI originally said it wasn’t. Well, one person from the FBI anyway.
The headline in your image “unclearly” states exactly that. FBI declares “not terrorism, -contradicting- Mayors statement”.
You’re right. My mistake.
