The driver of a rental truck drove down a busy bicycle path in New York near the World Trade Center, killing eight people and injuring about a dozen others in what officials said was an "act of terror."
After crashing the truck into a school bus, the suspect exited the vehicle while displaying imitation firearms and was shot in the abdomen by a police officer, according to the NYPD.
The suspect, a 29‑year‑old man, is in police custody and was taken to a hospital for treatment.
The incident is being investigated as terrorism, officials said.
Witnesses reported the suspect was yelling "Allahu Akbar," according to four law enforcement sources.
The FBI's Joint Terrorism Task Force is taking over the lead of the investigation.
