A man in a white pickup truck purposefully drove onto a bike path in downtown New York City on Tuesday, killing at least eight people as he barrelled down several blocks toward the area of the 9/11 memorial, ABC reports.
The attacker crashed the truck near the prestigious Stuyvesant High School, shouted “Allahu Akbar” while exiting the vehicle and waved two imitation firearms before police shot him twice and apprehended him, according to Fox News and NYPD Twitter. Witnesses heard between 6 and 10 shots fired.
