Home Front: WoT
At least eight dead and more than twelve injured in shooting and truck ramming in downtown Manhattan
2017-10-31
Moved to Home Front: WoT.
[Daily Mail] Six people have been killed by a truck driver who mowed them down on a bike path in lower Manhattan on Tuesday.

The driver made his way from Houston Street down towards Tribeca where he mounted the bike path on the West Side Highway shortly after 3pm.

After striking several cyclists and runners, he came to a stop when his truck crashed into a school bus beneath the Tribeca bridge.

The man then emerged with imitation guns in his hand and was shot in the leg by police. He survived and was taken to hospital but at least six innocent people were killed and others are injured.

#26  Just reported by Col. Shaffer, some kind of manifesto was found in his truck.

Per Fox guest, 1,000 ongoing jihad investigations in our country! Simply following Muhamhead's examples of mass murder.

Also some picture was taken by a terrorist in the target neighborhood. Photo of man's phone showing the islamic state emblem and looking down a street.
