NEW YORK (AP) — The Latest on a vehicle driving onto a bike path near the World Trade Center site and memorial (all times local):

6 p.m.

A law enforcement official says that witnesses told police that the man who drove a rented truck onto a bike path in New York City, killing eight people, shouted "allahu akbar."

The official was familiar with the investigation but wasn't authorized to speak publicly and spoke to The Associated Press on condition of anonymity.

Police Commissioner James O'Neill was asked at a news conference whether the suspect shouted the phrase, which means "God is great" in Arabic, or something like it. O'Neill replied: "Yeah. He did make a statement when he exited the vehicle," though he declined to elaborate.

O'Neill says the method of attack and the suspect's statement enabled officials "to label this a terrorist event."

He says the 29-year-old man entered the bike path and drove south, hitting pedestrians and cyclists. He then hit a school bus, injuring at least two adults.

He says the man exited the vehicle brandishing a paintball gun and a pellet gun. He was then shot in the abdomen by a police officer and is now hospitalized.

We need to close that damn Hawaiian snackbar for good!  I say we pass a sensible law for background checks and a 5 day waiting period in order to rent a vehicle. We need to think of the kids.

Or we could slow down the importation of people wanting to kill us?

Remember, there's a whole political party based on open borders & excusing terrorist actions with, workplace violence or some other tripe.

Liberal judges granting injunctions against a president who's trying to curtail the influx of "travelers" from known terrorist countries.

Absolutely sickening....

I wonder how long that party is going to last or remain on same thought trail when they begin losing family members or close friends to a couple of the people they wanted to be welcomed into the country with open arms and hugs. Suicide belts are not selective on targets, Maniacs driving trucks up on side walks killing people are not selective on targets!  If this political party thinks it won't happen to them they are beyond stupid. I hope they send this guy to Guantanamo and flush every piece of information they can out of him. They have already learn where he lived and 2 doors down from his house was the Mosque he attends. I'm thrilled that the New York officer that shot him didn't kill him. We now can get information from him and he won't get his 72 Virgins...............:clap:

Another sad part of this, he was legally in the country under a program signed into effect in 1990 by Bush 1. Neither party is blameless.

I totally agree Mike!! They both have allowed so many Islamic people into the country that if not another one was allowed in there are already enough here for things like yesterday or worse to take place for many many years to come. I have come to the conclusion we will see this happen more and more as Trump tries to end ISIS! They are showing a desperation now to inflicked as much harm as they can before the lose the power transform and recruit more home grown terrorists....................jmho
