More crime and justice news after this. Now with the latest crime and justice breaking news, Prime Online's John Limley. Police in New Orleans have released body cam footage shedding light on the deadly New Year's Day attack that claimed 14 lives. Authorities say Shamsuddin Jabbar, inspired by the Islamic State group, drove a truck onto crowded Bourbon Street, killing and injuring dozens before engaging in a shootout with officers. Police report Jabbar crashed his vehicle after bypassing a barricade early that morning.

As officers approached, footage shows Jabbar firing from inside the truck, prompting officers Christian Beyer, Jacoby Jordan, and Sergeant Nigel Daggs to return fire, killing him. Two officers were injured during the exchange. Superintendent Ann Kirkpatrick praised the officers' actions, calling them national heroes and affirming that their response followed department protocol. However, she declined to comment on specific security measures in place at the time or whether bystanders were struck in the crossfire. The attack has prompted lawsuits from victims against the city and its contractors alleging inadequate safety measures. Investigations by local police and the FBI are

ongoing, with more footage expected to be released in the coming weeks. Prosecutors have announced that a 69-year-old man who fatally stabbed one of his attackers during a violent subway altercation in Queens will not face criminal charges.

The victim was hospitalized with injuries including cuts, bruises, and head trauma. Queens District Attorney Melinda Katz

stated, quote, the victim was accosted without provocation and our investigation has shown that he defended himself while attempting to retrieve his property. As a result, no charges will be filed against him. Meanwhile, four men involved in the attack, 26-year-old Felipe Pena, 32-year-old Henry Toapanta, 29-year-old Oswaldo Walter, and 35-year-old Jose Valencia have been indicted on robbery and assault charges.
