A horrible incident took place on Tuesday 31st October in New York City that has shattered the people living in the city. Eight people were killed and very nearly twelve harmed when a 29-year-old man in a leased pickup truck drove down a bus bike path close to the World Trade Center in Manhattan, New York City.
The suspect was recognized by two law implementation sources acquainted with the examination as Sayfullo Habibullaevic Saipov. He’s from Uzbekistan in Central Asia yet had been living in the US since 2010, sources said.
Specialists found a note asserting the assault was made for the sake of ISIS close to the truck used as a part of the attack, a senior law implementation official said.
“This was an act of terror, and a particularly cowardly act of terror,” New York Mayor Bill de Blasio said, “aimed at innocent civilians, aimed at people going about their lives who had no idea what was about to hit them.”
The suspect was shot by police and taken to a hospital in the wake of rising up out of the vehicle with impersonation guns, and the FBI is apparently regarding the episode as a dread assault.
Immediately after the incident, many celebrities rushed to voice their anxiety for the civilians of New York to offer support and help in the wake of this terror attack. Many celebrities including Barack Obama, Hilary Clinton, Taylor Swift and many more shared tweets on social media giving their constant support for New Yorkers.
Among many celebrities singer Josh Groban was one of the witness to the horrific incident as he was not very far from the place where the terror attack took place, heard gunshots and immediately posted live coverage on social media. He heard gunshots that was perhaps the bullet shot by an NYPD police officer that pieced the abdomen of the suspect.
“Oh my god I just heard gun shots and ran with my dog. Downtown,” he tweeted. “I hope everyone’s ok. Was half a block from me, didn’t see it but heard 8-10 quick rounds fired off. Be safe with your kids out there. I’m shaking. That’s the corner I was supposed to have my coffee but my dog pulled me into the park half a block away 10 min before shooting. Devastated for the victims and their families tonight & inspired by the spirit of this city. Sirens and trick or treaters everywhere.” His tweet read.

In NYC, looks like another attack by a very sick and deranged person. Law enforcement is following this closely. NOT IN THE U.S.A.!
