NurembergVillan Posted October 31, 2017 Moderator Share Posted October 31, 2017 EDIT 2130 GMT - the Mayor has now declared the incident a terrorist attack. So far 8 people are reported killed, with multiple casualties. Reports emerging that a truck has struck several people, notably cyclists, in Manhattan. At the same time shots have been fired and NYPD are reporting at least two people are dead. I've inadvertently just clicked on a tweet that was showing footage of the aftermath, and it doesn't look like a regular car accident... The below was the first news I saw. Don't click the link, as a few tweets below is the footage. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dr_Pangloss Posted October 31, 2017 Share Posted October 31, 2017 CNN haven't confirmed it's not terror related, pushing that angle so far. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Chindie Posted October 31, 2017 VT Supporter Share Posted October 31, 2017 Supposedly 2 truck drivers got into an argument, one opened fire and one plowed into pedestrians. Nuts. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

TheAuthority Posted October 31, 2017 VT Supporter Share Posted October 31, 2017 No - the guy got out of the truck with a paint gun and a toy gun. Was then shot in the stomach by NYPD. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
NurembergVillan Posted October 31, 2017 Author Moderator Share Posted October 31, 2017 Doesn't sound like a typical jihadi attack. I thought the whole point was to become a martyr? Unless I've got that wrong. Or he was planning the police would kill him. Or unless he wasn't really a jihadi terrorist?! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
