Dramatic moment New Orleans PD shoots and kills terrorist Shamsud Din Jabbar after NYD terror attack
Newly released police bodycam footage captured the shocking moment the New Orleans terrorist was shot and killed by police during the New Year’s Day attack.
The footage showed heroic officers springing into action to kill ISIS terrorist Shamsud-Din Jabbar after he plowed through a crowd of revelers and shot at police and bystanders.
The video shows three New Orleans police officers surrounding Jabbar’s Ford F-150 and ordering him out of the car, which had been used to kill fourteen people and injure dozens of others.
A fourth officer whose bodycam footage was released, named Officer Luis Robles, then ran to the truck and opened Jabbar’s door after it was stopped by crashing into a lifting vehicle.
From the wreckage, Jabbar was then seen firing a gun at police, while a muzzle flash was seen from the cab of the truck.
The officers returned fire as they retreated from the gunfire, eventually fatally shooting Jabbar and ending the horror rampage.
New Orleans Police Inspector Anne Kirkpatrick said two officers involved in the shooting, Joseph Rodrigue and Jacobie Jordan, were hospitalized but have since been released.

Authorities have praised the efforts of the officers who confronted and killed Jabbar, and the New Orleans City Council recently commended 175 officers involved in combating the attack.
The investigation into the shocking terrorist attack in the early hours of New Year’s Day is still ongoing. Officials say it appears Jabbar was inspired by ISIS.
