Nightmarish video reveals how ISIS terrorist acquired by police barricade throughout EV truck rampage in New Orleans
Horrific footage captured the moment the New Orleans terror suspect maneuvered around a police barricade and plowed through the unsuspecting crowd.
Shamsud Din Jabbar, 42, a U.S citizen, drove a rental truck brandishing an ISIS flag into the crowd on Bourbon Street Wednesday morning, killing at least 15 people and injuring dozens.
Shocking new surveillance footage obtained by Fox 8 showed Jabbar driving the white Ford F-150 Lightning EV down Canal Street.
The truck turned on to Bourbon Street, maneuvered past a NOLA police department vehicle, then rammed into a crowd of pedestrians.
After mowing down the revelers, he got out of the car and started shooting, before he was shot himself by police. The ordeal is being probed as a terror attack.
The EV truck is a particularly deadly weapon with its large height and weight and the ability to go from zero to 60 mph in 3.8 seconds.
New Orleans police said the mechanical barricades installed at the intersection were malfunctioning, and they placed other barriers and police cars at parts of Bourbon Street for the holiday.
‘We knew these were malfunctioning. So we did indeed have a plan, but the terrorist defeated it,’ Police Superintendent Anne Kirkpatrick said.
‘This particular terrorist drove around onto the sidewalk and got around the hard target. We did have a car there, we had barriers there, we had officers there, and they still got around.’

Officials confirmed 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 potential associations and affiliations with terrorist organizations,’ the FBI said.
Jabbar – who the FBI believes did not work alone on the horrifying 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 concealed within coolers, were wired for remote detonation, the bulletin said, and a corresponding remote control was discovered inside the vehicle.
The FBI said other potential explosive devices were also located in the French Quarter.
According to the intelligence bulletin, surveillance footage captured three men and a woman placing one of multiple improvised explosive devices.
The electric vehicle was rented by Jabbar through the Turo app – a carsharing company – that is registered to a 42-year-old Houston man.

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 girl.
Ni’kyra Cheyenne Dedeaux traveled to the French Quarter on Tuesday from Gulfport, Mississippi with her cousin to ring in the new year together.
An unidentified student from the University of Georgia has also been left critically 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 in a New Orleans terror attack, sparking fears a disabled person is among the victims.
