BOX Truck in NYC strikes multiple pedestrians...

Post by bignflnut »

The scene is near Hudson Street and Chambers Street. According to witnesses, a man in a box truck veered off the road and struck the victims. The as-yet-unidentified suspect has reportedly been taken into custody.

At least eight people have been injured and two are reported dead, the New York Post reports. It was unclear if this was an act of terrorism. The NYPD has yet to release a statement. Many of those injured were shot.

At least two people were fatally shot in Lower Manhattan Tuesday afternoon by a gunman firing from his truck, police sources said.

The gunman, who is in police custody, shot at least six people at West Street and Chambers Street, which is near Stuyvesant High School, at 3:15 p.m.

“What happened was there was a car crash… he came out of one of the cars. He had two guns. He was running around Chambers and somebody started to chase him,” said Laith Bahlouli, 14, a Stuyvesant student. “I heard four to six gunshots – everybody starts running.”

Didn't the truck driver get the NY City health warning about how guns jump up by themselves and shoot innocent people?

Clearly the only way to stop this is NYC should ban box trucks. :roll:

Ban citizens. I mean, if no one had been on the path, he couldn't have hurt anyone, could he?

They're from New York - maybe they died of fright at the sight of the fake guns.

I was telling a Brooklyn native friend who lives here now about the incident this evening; he had just flown back from a Florida vacation and he'd not heard about it. Gently reminded him that such an attack would likely not go so well for the terrorist if tried in Cincytucky, because some upstanding citizen here would be licensed and armed. It's taken some effort on my part but he acknowledged NYC has the whole idea of an unarmed citizenry wrong.
Quit worrying, hide your gun well, shut up, and CARRY that handgun!

And a box truck was used in the Oklahoma City bombing. We need a law to control access to box trucks...

From the pictures this one was a flat bed rental from Home Depot. And the reports are now saying he had a BB gun and a paintball gun. Cause, you know, REAL guns are not legal in NYC.

I read this description in one of the links.
Saipov collided with a school bus at Chambers Street, injuring two adults and two children inside.

He then got out with the pellet and paintball guns — sending panicked bystanders fleeing through the streets, sources said.

Tom Gay said he was walking near West Street and Warren Street when a woman came barreling around the corner shouting, “He has a gun! He has a gun!”
As I was getting gas tonight, I had the van radio on to hear the news and weather. The news lady read the news as "A Trump massacre in New York." Someone else getting gas heard it also and was confused, because he hadn't heard the real story earlier, like I had. The woman meant to say, "A truck massacre" :roll:

Sure she did, sure she did. :mrgreen: I'd be more likely to believe that she said exactly what she meant to say.

Much more accurate here to lay blame at the feet of Amy Schumer's brain damaged cousin Chucky boy. He pushed hard for the visa law language that allowed this particular terrorist time bomb come into the U.S.

3 questions:
1. Were some of the victims actually shot?
2. Did the terrorist actually have BB/paintball guns, and not real firearms?
(NYPD is stating 1st precinct "lit him up")
3. If innocent folk WERE shot, would forensics show NYPD shot them?

Just curious.
