Edit: At least four people hit by truck in NYC according to WABC. A witness says the driver was deliberate; police say the threat is over

I'll be there in 5 weeks, was in Queens this past weekend.

Not worried in the least.

 

[ArcadiaGP]

Wonder if the early report of people shot was inaccurate, maybe just reporting the police shooting at the perp

[ArcadiaGP]

OK now saying possibly two separate incidents.

1-Shooting by World Trade Center, 5 shot, 1 person in custody
2-Vehicle hit Pedestrians nearby?


Currently saying 2 dead

Edit: NYPD: “suspicious male with a device in his hand” at City Vineyard

Guns are not allowed in NYC.

 

[ArcadiaGP]

According to @nypmetro the driver had 2 guns and shot pedestrians from his truck

Other sources: man driving box truck hits multiple people while going wrong way in bike lane near West & Chambers St. He crashes & exits w/ what is believed to be BB gun. He was shot by police & is in custody.

Was this the truck?

 

[ArcadiaGP]

NYT: Officials said as many as six people had been killed and 11 injured.

AP: Suspect struck several people, then emerged from the vehicle screaming and firing something that appeared to be a gun

 

[ArcadiaGP]

From NYPD News. Sounds like attempted suicide by cop

The vehicle continued south striking another vehicle. The suspect exited the vehicle displaying imitation firearms & was shot by NYPD

Wasnt a box truck. It was one of those $20/hr rental pickups from Home Depot. (if the posted photo is genuine)

So now what? Perp didnt even need to own the weapon; he just needed a handful of cash to borrow it for a bit.

We obviously need to investigate how easy it is to get your hands on such a powerful weapon.

This sucks. Fox is saying he yelled "God is great" in Arabic. 4 DOA's at this point. Looks like suspect was carrying a paint ball gun and a BB gun. Was shot by police.

If only there was some kind of registration and licensing.
