Another tragic event just happened in a major U.S. city, this time, it's New York City. A suspect in a rented Home Depot truck drove onto the West Side bike path in Lower Manhattan, where he plowed his vehicle into pedestrians, rammed into a school bus, and then exited the vehicle shouting "Allahu Akbar" as he branished fake guns, police say.

The event took place near the World Trade Center memorial. At least eight fatalities have been reported so far according to the New York Post. The suspect is now in police custody.


According to the NYPD, the suspect was shot by police after plowing his vehicle into at least 23 people.
