An individual named Trevor Neill, who served alongside Shamsud-Din Jabbar at Fort Gordon in Georgia, expressed shock and disbelief upon learning that his former comrade had tragically killed 14 people by driving through a crowd in New Orleans on Wednesday.
Neill described Jabbar as a 'normal individual' with no apparent red flags, highlighting his qualities as a great soldier and a phenomenal friend during an interview with CNN affiliate KHOU.
Upon hearing the news, Neill was visibly shaken, recounting how he was rendered speechless for a period of 20 to 30 seconds, repeatedly exclaiming 'Oh my God' in response to the devastating revelation. He expressed deep sorrow over the fact that Jabbar had chosen such a destructive path.
