Quigley, a Lansdale Catholic High School graduate from the Class of 2016, was hospitalized following the attack, which claimed at least 15 lives, including Bech’s, in New Orleans’ French Quarter. Quigley and Bech both worked at Seaport Global Holdings LLC, a financial services firm in New York, and had remained close since their time at Princeton.

The attack occurred around 3:15 a.m. CT and is being investigated as an act of terrorism by the FBI. The driver, Shamsud-Din Bahar Jabbar, 42 of Texas, was killed in a firefight with police shortly after the incident.

Quigley’s current condition has not been disclosed. Messages of support and concern have poured in from friends and former classmates on social media.

A GoFundMe was started to help the two men's family, raising nearly $80,000 in less then 24 hours before the organizers stop accepting donations.
