Nightmarish video shows how ISIS terrorist got through police barricade during EV truck rampage in New Orleans

Gruesome footage captured the New Orleans terror suspect maneuvering around a police barricade and plowing through the unsuspecting crowd.

Shamsud Din Jabbar, 42, a U.S. citizen, drove a rental car waving an ISIS flag into the crowd on Bourbon Street on Wednesday morning, killing at least 15 people and injuring dozens.

Shocking new surveillance footage obtained by Fox 8 showed Jabbar as he drove the white Ford F-150 Lightning EV down Canal Street.

The truck turned onto Bourbon Street, maneuvered past a NOLA Police vehicle and then rammed into a crowd of pedestrians.

After mowing down the revelers, he got out of the car and started shooting before being shot himself by police. The ordeal is being investigated as a terror attack.

The EV truck is a particularly deadly weapon due to its great height and weight and its ability to go from 0 to 60 mph in 3.8 seconds.

New Orleans police said the mechanical barricades installed at the intersection were not functioning properly, and they installed other barriers and police cars on parts of Bourbon Street before the holidays.

‘We knew that these were not functioning properly. So we did have a plan, but the terrorist defeated it,” said Chief Inspector Anne Kirkpatrick.

“This particular terrorist drove onto the sidewalk and bypassed the hard target. We had a car there, we had barriers there, we had officers there, and they could still get by.”

Officials confirmed that Jabbar had attached an ISIS flag to the truck he used to plow through the crowd.

“An ISIS flag was located in the vehicle and the FBI is working to determine the subject’s possible associations and ties to terrorist organizations,” the FBI said.

Jabbar — who the FBI says did not work alone on the horrific attack — grew up in Texas and served in the U.S. Army.

Guns and pipe bombs were also found in the vehicle, according to a Louisiana State Police intelligence bulletin obtained by The Associated Press.

The devices, which were hidden in coolers, were wired for remote detonation, the bulletin said, and a corresponding remote control was discovered in the vehicle.

The FBI said there were other potential explosives in the French Quarter.

According to the intelligence bulletin, surveillance footage showed three men and a woman planting one of several improvised explosive devices.

The electric vehicle was rented by Jabbar through the Turo app – a car sharing company – which is registered to a 42-year-old man from Houston.

The truck came through Eagle Pass, Texas, over a month ago, according to Fox News.

The first victim of the New Orleans attack has been identified as an 18-year-old high school student.

Ni’kyra Cheyenne Dedeaux traveled from Gulfport, Mississippi to the French Quarter with her cousin on Tuesday to ring in the new year together.

An unidentified University of Georgia student was also seriously injured following the horrific attack, according to the school’s president.

A badly damaged wheelchair was photographed next to the Ford F-150 EV that killed 15 people in a terror attack in New Orleans, sparking fears a disabled person may be among the victims.
