Disturbing surveillance video showing the moment a white pickup turned onto Bourbon Street early Wednesday Morning, moments before plowing into New Year’s party goers.

“Right now bourbon street is an active crime scene.”

Officials urged residents to avoid the area of Bourbon Street where crime scene units continue their work.

“The disfigurement and the bodies strewn, something you can’t unsee, you’ll never forget.”

“The bodies, the screams you can’t un-think about, you can’t un-hear that.”

An Earthcam in the French Quarter captured the moment overnight when officers raced toward the unspeakable act of violence.

“After hitting the crowd, he exited the vehicle and fired upon local law enforcement. Law enforcement returned fire, and the subject was pronounced deceased at the scene.”

The FBI confirms that the deceased suspect, is 42 year old Shamsud-Din Jabbar, a U.S. citizen from Texas who was also an Army Veteran.

Investigators say his rented Ford Pickup, had an ISIS Flag, and the suspect used the vehicle to plow through revelers on Canal and Bourbon Streets.
