BREAKING: Many DEAD, At Least 30 Victims So Far In Horrific Manhattan Attack – Here's
What We Know.
It's not even Halloween night but the horror has already begun to unfold in Manhattan,
New York this afternoon, leaving multiple people dead so far and at least 30 injured
just a few blocks from the World Trade Center.
One person is now in custody and information is starting to look like a potential terror
attack.
Witnesses are revealing that they saw and it's getting worse by the second as eyewitness
accounts continue to come out.
New York Daily News reports:
A number of people were shot near Stuyvesant High School Tuesday afternoon, police said,
and one person was taken into custody.
Police were investigating reports of up to four people shot dead.
Witness Frank Brito, 45, told the Daily News he saw two trucks crash into each other and
then a heavy set man get out of one in a blue tracksuit and chase someone, firing five or
six times.
Reports of an active shooter came in about 3 p.m.
"Oh my god I just heard gun shots and ran with my dog," pop singer Josh Groban tweeted.
"Downtown.
F—."
"I work on chambers street," el_dorado91 tweeted.
"Shots came from Chambers and West Street.
Someone who was eyewitness said cab driver fired shots."
The Daily Mail explains more as witnesses express the horror they saw on Twitter:
At least one officer has been shot and is expected to make a recovery.
The details of other injuries are not known.
Singer Josh Groban also tweeted after hearing 'gun shots' while out walking his dog.
"Oh my god I just heard gun shots and ran with my dog.
Downtown.
F***," he said.
Simultaneous reports of the same incident suggested that a truck drove into the bicycle
lane and mowed down cyclists and pedestrians.
Others ran for their lives as they watched the truck plow into pedestrians after veering
off the road.
"I saw the car crash so I ran up the bridge," a witness at the scene told PIX11's Myles
Miller.
"When I ran up the bridge, I saw this dude with two guns.
The guy with the two guns, for some reason, was running around.
He was getting chased.
And then all of the sudden, four shots went off and we all just started running."
"A car just ran over 2 people and then crashed into a school bus, one person on scene tweeted.
I see two dead bodies and Citibikes on the floor destroyed."
The NYPD could not give further detail immediately on Tuesday afternoon.
Shocking video footage from the scene showed cyclists lying on the ground with their bikes
smashed in to pieces around them.
By-passers were seen tending to them as they awaited medical attention.
Within minutes of the first reports, there was an enormous police and fire service presence
at the site.
Initial reports say the deadly driver was a Muslim cab driver although that has yet
to be confirmed.
For now, one person is in custody after what appears to be a deliberate attack.
The motive has yet to be known and we will continue to update on this attack as more
information unfolds.
This is now the second deliberate attack today on a crowd of people, which can't be ironic
given the Halloween holiday.
The first took place last night when gunmen opened fire in a London nightclub.
Halloween poses a particularly terrifying threat for attack as it's easy for assailants
to disguise themselves and get away with mass murder in a crowd.
That's what a group of shooters just did overnight, dressed in clown and ghost masks,
when armed with machine guns they went into a packed club in London, England where a rave
was underway.
Horrifying footage caught what happened next when they opened fire on everyone inside and
showered the crowd with bullets.
Then something really strange happened.
Express in the U.K. reports:
Gunmen dressed in Halloween masks opened fire on revelers at an illegal rave in London last
night.
Horrifying footage shows vile thugs dressed in clowns and ghost masks using automatic
weapons to unleash a shower of bullets on clubbers leaving a man and woman seriously
injured.
The video also shows the shock moment a man returns fire with a handgun.
A 41-year-old man was shot in the leg, and a woman in her twenties in the chest, at the
Money Move party in Leyton, East London, during the fracas.
Police have confirmed the man is in a stable condition, and the female victim did not suffer
life-threading injuries.
It's strange but incredible that with that many people in close contact that everyone
was relatively spared inside, save for the two that were injured – but not a single
death.
Even the injuries were not as detrimental as they could have been but that doesn't
make the attack any less frightening.
The report explains more as well as some alarming discoveries of the incident.
A nearby business owner told the Sun: "It looked like it was a gangland execution gone
wrong".
One clubber said they saw "at least four guns" being used during the horror attack.
They said around 100 people trapped inside as the gunmen had blocked off the road with
a car, stopping party goers from fleeing.
Video of the aftermath of the attack shows a woman using a belt as a tourniquet on a
wounded man.
"Officers, including firearms officers, attended the scene and discovered a 41-year-old
man with a gunshot wound to his left leg."He has been conveyed to an east London hospital
by London Ambulance Service where his condition is described as stable."Officers were then
made aware of a female, believed to be in her 20s, who had self-presented at another
east London hospital with a gunshot wound to the chest.
Her condition is described as not life-threatening or life-changing."A crime scene was put
in place and an investigation has been launched by Trident officers."The venue, on an industrial
estate, is reportedly used as an African church but is often hired out for raves.The shooters
have not been identified, however, London has become a hotbed of hate for Islamic terror
after the U.K. has allowed Muslim refugees into their country in droves.
Much of Europe is unrecognizable as it now looks like the Middle East.
London has become a target for repeat terror attacks and it's been reported that the
Islamic State was particularly impressed by what Vegas shooter Paddock pulled off and
wasn't shy about their plans to replicate his mode of operation.
This only increased the terror warning to avoid massive open-air gatherings.Despite
the fact that this similar attack didn't take place on our soil, there's no stopping
it from occurring here.
It's probably not "if" it will happen here, but "when."
The FBI concealing crucial information on this and refusing to speak on the massacre
moving forward dismantles citizens' faith in the system and that we're protected.
One has to wonder what they are hiding and why and it's a pretty concerning thing that
copycat attacks are already taking place and this London one was probably just a trial
one for what's coming to America.
