New Orleans Attack Latest Details: How Shamsud-Din Jabbar Outwitted Police; Removed Bollards
In a shocking New Year's Day tragedy, a pickup truck attack on Bourbon Street left 15 people dead and dozens injured.
The suspect, 42-year-old Shamsud-Din Jabbar, an Army veteran with ties to ISIS, exploited vulnerabilities in the city's security measures.
Bollards meant to protect the area were removed for replacement after being clogged with Mardi Gras beads, leaving the street exposed.Despite alternative security measures, including patrol cars and officers, Jabbar bypassed barriers by driving onto the sidewalk.
He later engaged in a gunfight with police, injuring two officers before being fatally shot.
The FBI is investigating the attack as a terrorist act, with authorities uncovering potential explosive devices nearby.
