Breaking news out of Lower Manhattan where there are a number of fatalities, at least six killed and fifteen injured, in what looks like an act of intentional domestic terrorism or potentially foreign related terrorism, neither have been confirmed at this time as to whom may be responsible.

Witnesses reporting seeing a vehicle mowing down pedestrians and bicyclists towards a nearby bike path, leaving both bloodshed and terror in a trail of death and mass fatality.

A man who was riding in an Uber along the West Side Highway near Chambers street says he saw several bleeding people on the ground after a truck struck several people.

“A vehicle drove straight down a bicycle path heading south in Manhattan just mowing everything down,” witness Greg Ahl said. “It looks like a vehicle drove down the bicycle path and ran everything over.”

“I noticed along the bike path a bunch of wrecked bicycles and as I drove it was just more and more completely and totally wrecked bicycles and people mulling around to the side. I must’ve seen 30 or 40 bicycles like that,” Ahl said.

The horrifying tragedy occurred at West Street and Chambers Street around 3:10 pm, according to the New York Police Department.

After the truck plowed through the crowds leaving multiple people dead the driver then struck a bus and another vehicle before exiting the driver's side door and opening fire on the crowd.

It remains unknown at this time just how many people were shot in total.

However Police then apparently began to negotiate with the man they said is responsible for both the plowing through the crowd and the shooting of New Yorkers.

The NYPD has also reported that one suspect, believed to be the only person responsible, is now in the custody of Police, although it there are reports that he was shot but those are unconfirmed at this time.
