NEW ORLEANS – Surveillance footage from Bourbon Street shared with Fox News Digital shows terror suspect Shamsud-Din Jabbar speeding his electric Ford F-150 Lightning pickup truck toward a crowd of New Year's revelers, who narrowly escapes the fast-moving vehicle, around 3:15 a.m. on Jan. 1.

Authorities fatally shot Jabbar after he drove his vehicle through the crowd, killing 14 people and opening fire on police in what officials described as a terrorist attack.

"A 500-pound vehicle going at a high rate of speed in an urban area is utterly devastating. And it's very clear the trend is that this is becoming — this tactic of choice among terrorists globally, because recently we've seen a proliferation of these," Paul Mauro, Fox News contributor and former NYPD inspector, told Fox News Digital. 

Mauro added that police departments across the nation have shifted their standard operating procedures because "it's no longer enough to wait for the feds to do their counterterrorism."

Despite What the Liberal Media Tells You, Joe Biden Emboldened Terrorist Attacks on U.S. Soil

A new poll reveals that most Americans trust President-elect Donald Trump to keep terrorism out of the United States, highlighting the ongoing public outcry for tough-on-security policies that the outgoing Biden administration did not deliver. The poll, conducted in the wake of the recent terrorist attack in New Orleans on New Year’s Day and global concerns about terrorism and national security, shows that many Americans believe Trump's approach to foreign policy and border security makes the U.S. safer from extremist threats. The survey suggests a significant portion of the electorate continues to view his leadership as a strong deterrent against terrorism, particularly in contrast to President Joe Biden’s handling of international relations and domestic security.

Respondents were asked, “Regardless of which presidential candidate you preferred, do you think the second Trump administration will or will not be able to … keep the U.S. safe from terrorism?”
