Per NBC News:

The New Orleans Police Department on Friday released body camera footage of the shootout between three officers and the attacker who rammed his truck into pedestrians on Bourbon Street in the early hours of New Year’s Day, killing 14 people.

The roughly 10 seconds of footage shows two officers with their guns drawn in front of the open driver’s side door of a white pickup truck. A voice can be heard yelling “put your hands up” before shooting erupts and officers and some pedestrians run away from the vehicle. The police department also released a slower version of the same video, as well as a still image showing what appears to be a muzzle flash from the attacker’s weapon.

It was the first time details of the shootout, including the names of the officers who killed the attacker, Shamsud-Din Jabbar, were released.
