The driver exited the vehicle with what appeared to be a gun and was shot by police, the sources added. The individual is in police custody and is being taken to the hospital for treatment. As many as six people are dead, according to two senior law enforcement sources on the scene, They added that it appears to be deliberate act. Very sad, story just breaking, more details will come out I'm sure. http://www.cnn.com/2017/10/31/us/new-york-shots-fired/index.html Edited October 31, 2017 by sho Link to comment
commando Posted October 31, 2017 Share Posted October 31, 2017 at first glance this 1 does appear to be terrorism....but that remains to be confirmed. at least they have the guy in custody. Link to comment
sho Posted October 31, 2017 Author Share Posted October 31, 2017 I was thinking it was very similar to the incidents in Spain, driving a truck through a pedestrian area. My first thought was a terrorist incident. Link to comment
sho Posted October 31, 2017 Author Share Posted October 31, 2017 Quote Multiple law enforcement sources say the New York incident is being investigated as terrorism. Separately, four law enforcement sources said witnesses reported the suspect was yelling Allahu Akbar. One law enforcement source said the FBI's Joint Terrorism Task Force is taking over the lead of the investigation. Update on the CNN link Link to comment

Enhance Posted October 31, 2017 Share Posted October 31, 2017 A lot of schmucks can figure out how to build a bomb and wreak havoc. But, a lot more schmucks can drive a car and do this at any time. Crowded cities in particular are an important target as we've now see this happen in New York twice in the last year or so (though, I believe the other one was partially due to drug abuse).
