Newly-released bodycam footage shows the dramatic close-range shootout between police and the man who killed 14 people in New Orleans on New Year’s Day. US Army veteran Shamsud-Din Jabbar, 42, ploughed his rented truck into a crowd as they partied in the early hours in the city’s famous French Quarter.

FBI investigators say he was ‘100% inspired’ by the Islamic State terror group and are hunting down ‘known associates’ in the belief he had accomplices. Video from Officer Luis Robles’ bodycam shows two colleagues with guns drawn positioned in front of the open driver’s side door to Jabbar’s truck after it crashed.

The three officers then dash away from the truck and dive to the ground before turning to face the vehicle again. Jabbar is understood to have fired multiple times from close range, though the number of shots has not been confirmed by police. Two officers, Jacobie Jordan and Joseph Rodrigue, were each shot in the thigh, while Rodrigue also suffered a fractured shoulder, New Orleans Police Department (NOPD) said.
