New Orleans Attacker Used Meta Smart Glasses to Plan Attack

The attacker had visited the city months prior to the massacre and recorded Bourbon Street with the glasses.

The New Orleans attacker who killed 14 people and injured 35 on New Year’s Day used Meta smart glasses to plot out the attack months in advance, officials said on Sunday. Shamsud-Din Jabbar visited the city twice in the months leading up to the attack and recorded Bourbon Street with the glasses while biking through the area, the FBI said. Jabbar was wearing the glasses throughout the attack, but he did not activate them that day, according to CNN. Jabbar was killed in a shootout with police after he drove a pickup truck through the crowd and opened fire on the street, killing 14 people. Jabbar, 42, was a former U.S. Army veteran who had pledged allegiance to ISIS, and the attack only occurred after he had changed his mind about killing his own family.
