The video footage released by the New Orleans Police Department shows the moments leading up to the fatal shooting of Shamsud-Din Jabbar, the attacker who killed 14 people in a truck rampage on New Year’s Day.
The video footage released by the police on Friday shows Shamsud-Din Jabbar, the Islamic State-inspired attacker who killed 14 people in a truck rampage on New Year’s Day in New Orleans , firing at police from inside his vehicle before officers fatally shot him. Jabbar had driven his white F-150 around a police car blockading the entrance of Bourbon Street, the city’s most famous thoroughfare, and plowed into revelers about 3:15 a.m. New Year's Day, killing 14 and injuring dozens.
After the truck crashes, officer Christian Beyer stands beside the truck’s open driver’s side door with his gun raised, bodycam footage from approaching officer Luis Robles shows. Officer Jacobie Jordan is also seen standing by the driver's side. He too had his gun drawn. Beyer identifies himself and asks Jabbar to get out of the truck. Jabbar then shoots from behind an airbag at close range. Robles and at least two unidentified officers turn, run a few steps away and dive onto the ground as a succession of shots rings out. Beyer and Jordan both fired their weapons, a third officer not visible in the footage, Sgt. Nigel Daggs, also fired. The three officers who shot at Jabbar were Daggs, Beyer and Jordan. 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.
