Mid-afternoon on Halloween Day, a radical Islamic terrorist drove a rented truck onto a bike path in the shadow of the World Trade Center. This radical Islamic terrorist intentionally drove the rented truck into people on the bike path in the shadow of the World Trade Center before intentionally t-boning a school bus full of children. The radical Islamic terrorist then jumped out of the rented truck carrying a pellet gun and a paintball gun. He was stopped by a bullet to the thigh from the gun of a New York City policeman.

Eight lives were lost and eleven people were injured in the truck attack by the radical Islamic terrorist. The paintball and pellet gun were recovered from the scene along with a knife and handwritten notes explaining the radical Islamic terrorist’s deadly intentions and loyalty to ISIS.
