Body-worn camera footage released by the New Orleans Police Department (NOPD) shows the moment officers first encountered Shamsud-Din Jabbar—the allegedly ISIS-inspired attacker who plowed his truck into a New Year’s Day crowd on Bourbon Street, killing 14 and injuring dozens.

A flurry of shots is heard on the clip after Jabbar opens fire from behind an airbag when officers surround the white Ford F-150 Lightning pickup truck he had crashed around 3:15 a.m.
