Lower Manhattan

Anyone know what's going on there?

What I'm seeing is that a guy in a truck started driving the wrong way on a Westside bike path, mowed down several people (reports say two dead), then got out of the truck and started shooting.

I've got a shout out to everyone I know who's in Manhattan today.

ETA: Now the report is six dead, 15 injured.

NYPD shot the suspect and he's in custody.

Lower Manhattan used to be the center of Jewish life in the city. Katz is located there and that place is fantastic.

CNN is reporting the driver yelled “God is Great” in Arabic.

#MustBeWhiteThen

Joking but prepared to be vindicated.

EDIT: Let's see where Bizarro's info goes.

CNN is also saying the FBI and NYPD are treating it as a terror attack.

Katz's is East Side. This was West Side.

The timing of these things are something else.

Here’s the suspect.

Admiral Akbar!

Update now says eight people dead.

This guy seems to be pretty Mickey Mouse amateur hour, check out this video of him:



8 people is too many, but I think it could have been worse.

He could've just bought an automatic gun.

Have Halloween pranksters gone too far?

Or, for that matter, a real gun. Reports I've seen indicated that he had a pellet gun and a paintball gun.

Another truck of peace??

Reports say he hopped out and yelled: “Jesus saves!”

No hint yet as to a motive...

It’s time this country had a serious discussion on banning motor vehicles! We can’t carry on pretending that these easily accessible killing machines aren’t the real issue.

I've been to Katz, and went to the Lower East Side tenement museum a few blocks away the same day.

fucking Abraham Lincoln? Dude that is so trippy!

so it was west side, not east side? Somebody get their shit together with this story!

either one of these is enough to send the average new yorker into a coronary thrombosis!

Well, that's actually true. 30,000 deaths a year.

Welfare money doesn't stretch that far.

Nah, Home Depot rents those for $19 too.

Holy shit, the cops shot him in the leg and captured him!

Well, it's not like he was selling loose cigarettes....

They were probably trying to shoot the gun out of his hand.

Hey that's what happened to the teenager swimming in Carl T. Rowan's pool.

My car is only good for driving and shelter. I am not sure what someone is going to do with that so we really do need to ban the things. I hear cars kill more people than cancer every year.

Let us be like whiny guntards and make stupid arguments all day.
