New Orleans attack: Inside Bourbon Street terrorist’s Houston home

HOUSTON – New photos taken by Fox News Digital provide a look inside Bourbon Street killer Shamsud-Din Jabbar’s home in Houston, Texas. 

Photos taken inside Jabbar’s mobile home in a predominately Muslim neighborhood in north Houston revealed several copies of the Quran, a book on Christianity, and a book focusing on educating children about Islam.

Jabbar, 42, drove a white truck into a crowd of New Year’s revelers in New Orleans on Wednesday at around 3:15 a.m. Following the collision, he proceeded to shoot at law enforcement officers, who retaliated by opening fire and fatally shooting Jabbar on the spot. This violent incident, currently under investigation as a terrorist attack, resulted in the deaths of 15 individuals, including Jabbar, and left over 30 people wounded.

A neighbor living next to Jabbar, who opted to remain anonymous, informed Fox News Digital that he witnessed Jabbar loading a white pickup truck outside his Houston residence on December 31, the day before the New Orleans attack. During their conversation, Jabbar mentioned he had secured a new job and was relocating to Louisiana. The neighbor believed Jabbar had found another job within the information technology sector.

“He said he got the job that day in Louisiana,” the man said, describing how Jabbar was loading “very light stuff, handheld stuff, not heavy stuff” into the truck.

“The morning he was moving, I asked him if he needed help moving out, as a neighbor, ‘Do you need any help for moving?’ He said, ‘I’m OK’,” the neighbor told Fox News Digital.

The neighbor expressed disbelief upon learning Jabbar was accused of the Bourbon Street bloodshed.

“Blow my mind, I was shocked, somebody seized the carpet under my feet, I was just like too shocked, unbelievable. ‘This really happened?'” the man said. “Like I said, we still don’t believe, we still don’t believe that that’s the person, just there’s no way, it can’t be like that.”
