Here’s graphic video of those hit by the truck:
Here’s the NY POST’s reporting:
At least six people were shot by a gunman firing from his car in Lower Manhattan Tuesday afternoon, police sources said.
Cops were notified of the shooting, which took place at West Street and Chambers Street, at 3:15 p.m., according to police. The shooter is in police custody, cops said.
“Someone who was eyewitness said cab driver fired shots,” a Twitter user wrote.
Video of the scene shows at least two people lying limp in the street.
Police shut down the FDR to rush victims to Bellevue Hospital.
The reporting is that the suspect was shot and is in custody:
