"After the officers surrounded the pickup truck, the driver fired at them. Three officers - Sergeant Nigel Daggs and Officers Christian Beyer and Jacobie Jordan - returned fire. The driver was pronounced deceased on scene," NOPD said in a Friday press release. "Officer Jordan, along with Officer Joseph Rodrigue - who did not discharge his firearm - each sustained a gunshot wound to their thigh during this incident."

Rodrigue sustained a fractured shoulder, and both officers were transported to a hospital for treatment. They have since been released. All involved officers were placed on administrative reassignment following the tragedy.

Officers Jordan and Beyer have been with NOPD for less than two years. Daggs is a 21-year member of the department and Rodrigue is a nine-year member.

The video also shows several civilians running from the gunfire. NOPD has previously stated that two officers were injured in the shootout that ultimately killed Jabbar.

A total of 35 people were injured in the attack, on top of the 14 civilians who were killed.

The FBI continues to investigate the New Year's terrorist attack, which they say was motivated by ISIS extremism.
