The terrorist’s name is Amor Ftouhi and he’s from Canada. Here’s a photo I found on facebook:
As you can tell, he’s not young. In fact he’s in his mid-50s now.
According to his Facebook, he’s from Tunis, Tunisia and currently lives in Quebec. From what I could tell he didn’t really use his Facebook very much at all and only had 3 friends that I could see.
The officer who was stabbed is doing fine:

At this point, which is very early, it looks like Ftouhi acted alone:
The FBI says it is early in the investigation, but at this point they view the suspect "as a lone wolf attacker" https://t.co/QpBcqYI7VT
