New bodycam footage shows New Orleans police officers putting themselves in grave danger to stop the Bourbon Street terror attack.
The newly released video begins after the suspect, Shamsud-Din Jabbar, mows down New Year's Eve revelers and crashes his truck… and officers are seen swarming around the vehicle with guns drawn.
With the driver's door open, an officer approached, just inches away from Jabbar, who police couldn't see because of the airbags in his truck. But without warning, the terrorist came out and fired his weapon from behind the airbag.
The officers quickly retreated but returned fire, killing Jabbar.
As we reported, two NOPD officers was shot They were injured during the exchange and were hospitalized, but survived the injuries.
While there has been criticism of how Jabbar managed to bypass police lines, get onto Bourbon Street and mow down 14 people, the heroism of the officers who cut him down is on full display in this new video.
