Sickening. Any and all acts of terrorism require a death penalty.

Six people were reported killed when a man drove a pickup truck down a lengthy stretch of a bike path next to the Hudson River in Lower Manhattan on Tuesday afternoon before he jumped out with two fake guns and was shot by police officers, the authorities said.

On Fox live it was said the bus driver intentionally cut off the truck to stop him. Possibly 11 injured on bus.

Witnesses say he targeted bus.
I dont believe the bus driver would put kids in harms way.

Can get the death penalty under Federal law.

Multiple law enforcement sources say the NY incident is being investigated as terrorism.
Separately four law enforcement sources said witnesses reported the suspect was yelling "Allahu Akbar" -- which means God is greatest.
One law enforcement source said the FBI’s Joint Terrorism Task Force is taking over as lead of the investigation.

[h=3]Witness accounts are beginning to come in[/h] A man who was riding in an Uber along the West Side Highway near Chambers Street said he saw several bleeding people on the ground after a truck struck several people. Another witness said the truck had also collided with a small bus and one other vehicle.

Tom Gay, a school photographer, was on Warren Street and heard people saying there was an accident. He went down to West Street and a woman came around the corner shouting, "He has a gun! He has a gun!"

Gay told Associated Press that he stuck his head around the corner and saw a slender man in a blue track suit running southbound on West Street holding a gun. He said there was a heavyset man pursuing him.

He said he heard five or six shots and the man in the tracksuit fell to the ground, gun still raised in the air. He said a man came over and kicked the gun out of his hand.

Uber driver Chen Yi said he saw a truck plow into people on a popular bike path adjacent to the West Side Highway. He said he then heard seven to eight shots and then police pointing a gun at a man kneeling on the pavement.

"I saw a lot of blood over there. A lot of people on the ground," Yi said.

His passenger, Dmitry Metlitsky, said he also saw police standing near a man who was on his knees with his hands up, and another man bleeding on the ground nearby. He said the truck had also collided with a small school bus and one other vehicle
