NEW ORLEANS (WVUE/Gray News) – Surveillance video captures the chilling moments when a man drove a pickup truck into crowds on Bourbon Street just hours into the new year.
The footage shows Sahmsud-Din Jabbar’s truck speeding through the French Quarter with pedestrians fleeing from the vehicle’s deadly path.
As seen in the video, some fled inside a Krystal burger location on Bourbon Street with others running into nearby businesses for safety as Jabbar barreled down the street.
Sadly, 14 people died with dozens more injured on New Year’s Day.
The FBI said the Islamic State-inspired suspect deliberately drove the pickup truck through crowds before opening fire in what they are calling a terrorist attack.
Jabbar was shot and killed by police.
Authorities are continuing their investigation and encourage anyone with additional video, photos, or information to contact the FBI at 1-800-CALL-FBI or submit tips online at tips.fbi.gov.
