Bodycam footage released by the New Orleans Police Department shows the moments leading up to and following the fatal shooting of Shamsud-Din Jabbar, who drove his truck into revelers on Bourbon Street, killing 14.
Citing the ongoing investigation and pending litigation, New Orleans Police Department Superintendent Anne Kirkpatrick said police won't yet disclose how many shots Jabbar fired.“They killed the terrorist. ... They are national heroes,” New Orleans Police Department Superintendent Anne Kirkpatrick said of the officers at a news conference.
Beyer and Jordan both fired their weapons, Guasco said. A third officer not visible in the footage, Sgt. Nigel Daggs, was standing by the truck's front passenger door and also fired. The three officers who shot at Jabbar were Daggs, a 21-year veteran of the department, and Beyer and Jordan, each of whom has been with the department nearly two years, police officials said. Jordan and nine-year veteran officer Joseph Rodrigue, who did not fire his weapon, were both wounded in the thighs and Rodrigue's shoulder was fractured. Kirkpatrick declined to comment on whether any officers or bystanders were hit by friendly fire.
