More details on the suspect who allegedly killed eight people and injured about a dozen more in Lower Manhattan have been released.
Officials said that Sayfullo Saipov, a 29-year-old truck driver from Uzbekistan, hired a Home Depot truck in Passaic, New Jersey, and drove it to Manhattan before he carried out his rampage down a bike path, striking riders and pedestrians before crashing into a school bus. He got out with two fake guns, yelling, “Allahu Akbar!”
