At least six people were killed and 15 were injured when a truck driver deliberately mowed down people in lower Manhattan Tuesday afternoon, officials tell News 4 New York.
Sources initially said they were responding to a report of at least five people shot near West and Chambers streets in Tribeca, but officials say their investigation now shows the injuries may have come from the truck crash. Police sources tell News 4 that a box truck driver was traveling the wrong way down a bicycle path, injuring several people. The box truck then collided with a Home Deport rental truck, and the box truck driver got out with what now appears to be a fake firearm. He was then shot by police. He's in custody.
A box truck driver zoomed the wrong way down a bicycle path, mowing down several people, sources say. The driver then got out with what appeared to be firearms.
Witnesses told News 4 they saw the driver running around with the apparent guns.
He was then shot by police, according to sources. He's in custody, police say.
Students from the top-ranked Stuyvesant High School and other witnesses in the area tweeted that they'd heard gunshots. A message has been left with the Department of Education.
A large number of police vehicles could be seen near West Street and Chambers Street in Tribeca, which is near a community college, Stuyvesant High School, and a few blocks north of the National Sept. 11 Memorial.
According to audio recorded by the service Broadcastify, the NYPD cleared the area around the truck to bring in bomb squads shortly after the violent episode.
“Box truck on Chambers and West, we need that area cleared,” said one officer. “We need everybody away from that truck.”
Both Mayor de Blasio and Gov. Cuomo were headed to the scene.

Can’t trust the press which tries to minimize and DeArabize any terror attacks.
“I’m not trying to be funny, but does the direction of travel even matter for a box truck driving on a bicycle path? WTF?”
Yes it does for one reason mainly. If you are on a bike and can see it coming then you might have a chance to veer off the path and out of the way. Even though the rules of the road say that bike and vehicle traffic are to travel in the same direction it is not always the safest. accept at intersections you are much safer to travel against traffic. As a kid I had an experience that I would have been run over on the highway if I had not seen a truck that swerved onto the shoulder and came straight at me. I was able to ride off the shoulder and go into a field to avoid being struck. So glad that I was riding against the traffic. If my back had been to that event then I would have been killed.
Yup....
