New Orleans Police Department body camera footage released Friday morning shows officers responding to the scene of a New Year’s terrorist attack on Bourbon Street that left 15 dead, including attacker Shamsud-Din Jabbar.

The NOPD footage obtained by Fox News Digital through a public records request shows officers confronting Jabbar, still in his white Ford-150 that he rammed through Bourbon Street around 3:15 a.m. on Jan. 1.

The footage shows several officers approaching Jabbar’s truck, which was rented in Houston, at which point he begins firing at police from beneath a deployed airbag. Loud gunfire can be heard in the approximately 13 seconds of footage released by NOPD Friday.
