Eight people have been killed and more than a dozen injured after a man drove a truck nearly a mile down a bike path in lower Manhattan on Tuesday, striking pedestrians, cyclists and a school bus.
After smashing into a school bus which injures two adults and two children, the 29-year-old suspect left the truck with what looked like weapons but was just a paintball gun and a air soft gun. Some witnesses have said the suspect was shouting “Allahu Akbar” before being shot by police, according to the New York police department. The suspect was arrested, and a paintball gun and a pellet gun were recovered at the scene.
The suspect underwent surgery and was in critical condition but was expected to survive. Officials who weren’t authorised to discuss the investigation and spoke on the condition of anonymity identified the attacker as 29-year-old Sayfullo Saipov, an Uzbek citizen who came to the US legally in 2010. Saipov has a Florida driving licence but may have been living in New Jersey, reports said.
This is of course a big issue but what some people thought was a bigger issue is Trump saying "My thoughts, condolences and prayers to the victims and families of the New York City terrorist attack. God and your country are with you.
Some people may see this and think positively off this as the President is speaking out and saying how he feels however a lot of people are annoyed that all he does is just putting things on Twitter and is always saying how God will help us however Trump isn't doing anything about it like going out and seeing the people.
