At least eight people were killed and a dozen injured Tuesday when a truck plowed into pedestrians in lower Manhattan in what officials are calling a terrorist attack. The NYPD said the driver exited the truck brandishing a pellet gun and paintball gun. He was shot and wounded by police officers and taken into custody.

Investigators inspect the truck used in the "deliberate" attack in New York. The driver rammed into pedestrians and bicyclists on a popular bike path before coming to a stop when he struck a school bus.
