In the early hours of January 1, a terrorist later identified as Shamsud-Din Jabber, 42 from Houston, drove around police barricades blocking Bourbon Street in a rented Ford F-150 Lightning pickup truck.

Jabbar drove down the crowded street, hitting and killing people ringing in the new year. He then got into a gunfight with police, where he was shot and killed.

In all, he killed 14 people and injured 35 more.
