Wild video has emerged of the Bourbon Street shootout between police and New Orleans terrorist Shamsud-Din Jabbar — showing New Year’s revelers running for their lives as shots rang out in the French Quarter.
“What the f–k! A guy just f–king died,” the videographer yells while filming Jabbar’s rented white Ford pickup truck after it crashed into a construction vehicle on the bustling street early Wednesday.

As the gunfire pops off, the videographer, along with the entire crowd, makes a mad dash for safety, the footage shows.
“Oh s–t! Oh hell no!,” the man recording shouts.

One officer can be seen in the video falling backward as he fires in the direction of the truck.
Other folks are seen in various states of reaction — one person walks past the wreckage, seemingly oblivious to the chaos going on around him until the shots ring out.
