New York is reeling after a tragic attack left eight dead and others injured. A man drove a rented truck down a bike path near the World Trade Center Memorial in New York City and crashed into a series of pedestrians and bike riders. The man then jumped out with two fake guns and was immediately shot by police. The attacker is alive and has been taken into custody.
A police official speaking to AP on the condition of anonymity said the attack is being investigated as a terrorist attack. The truck — a rented Home Depot truck — struck twenty three people — leaving fifteen injured and eight dead.
