School bus carrying children hit in New York attack

A small school bus with children on board is hit in attack on pedestrians in lower Manhattan, according to witnesses who posted on social media.
A small school bus with children on board was involved in Tuesday's (October 31) attack on pedestrians in lower Manhattan, according to witnesses who posted on social media.
A driver in a rented pickup truck mowed down pedestrians and cyclists on a bike path alongside the Hudson River in New York City on Tuesday, killing eight people and injuring about a dozen others in what authorities said was an act of terrorism.
The 29-year-old suspect in Tuesday's attack was shot in the abdomen by police and taken into custody after he crashed the truck into a school bus and fled his vehicle, New York City Police Commissioner James O'Neill told a news conference.
Two children and two adults were injured when the truck plowed into the school bus, he said.
