Demarco. Be advised we have multiple people on the ground, from chambers all the way up to houston, all the way from houston to chambers. There are multiple people on the ground. We have multiple casualties. This is a multiple pedestrian casualty. We need ambulances. We have one perp in custody. One perp in custody. Reporter it was just after 3 00 p. M. When the horror began. A rented truck from home depot drove 15 blocks down a bike path on the west side highway on a rampage that police said was an intentional way. On the way, the driver hit a school bus. A nearby high school was just getting out. The truck came to rest at chamber street in Lower Manhattan. There was one female they saw near the body. She must have seen it actually happen because she just scream ago it was it was reporter witnesses say the driver then got out of his truck with fake guns before being shot several times by police. Tawhid kabir was a witness. I saw the guy with two guns running in the middle of the street. Then i heard the gunshots and i went down because i was scared. Reporter schools were ordered locked down and a beautiful halloween afternoon gave way to scenes of chaos. We saw a lot of police and ambulance people, they were running. Reporter rueben cabarra is a student at a nearby college. In the bike lane, i saw two bodies covered with white sheets, another body on the floor and what appeared to be a home depot pickup truck just crushed from running into a light post. Reporter we are about oi block away from where this all came to an end. Police are heavily armed to make sure the rest of the night goes wiout incident. Reporter demarco, thank you very much. Jeff pegues is in our washingto what we know about the suspect. Jeff. Reporter well, jeff, of course, we know hes 29 years old. We also learned just minutes ago he is a truck driver who has addresses in both florida and new jersey. And this is someone who doesnt seem to have an extensive criminal background. We found about four traffic tickets. And so far thats it, but you can bet both the f. B. I. And n. Y. P. D. Are digging into this persons background. Hes 29 years old, identified as sayfullo saipov. Investigators believe that he was acting alone, and this was not part of some wider plot, but it is still early. Officials believe the 29yearold suspect was acting alone when he drove that truck on to that bike path. Federal intelligence officials will be combing through databases, looking for leads on the suspect. For example, where hes traveled and who he has been in contact with. In addition to that, agencies as will scrub their database looking for any signs that he has been on their radar. They will also try to g Electronic Devices and scrub them for information as well. Was there something that he was searching for on the internet . Was there someone that he was communicating with in the days and hours before this attack . On its face, this, of course, has the hallmarks of the type of attack isis and al qaeda have called for and cities everywhere across this globe have tried to guard against. What will likely help police in this investigation is that the suspect survived. But that, of course, depends on how much he cooperates. Jeff. All right, jeff, thank you very much. More from west broadway and chambers here in Lower Manhattan in just a moment. But for now, back to Anthony Mason in the studio. Glor Fran Townsend was a Homeland Security adviser to george w. Positive intuive and our Senior National security analyst. Fran, am i right . Is this the First Successful truck attack weve seen here in the u. S. . Thats right. The only other successful one, if you will, was in times down a bunch of people. I think authorities have been expecting this. After the nice attack on the promenade, n. Y. P. D. Authorities went out to 148 truck rental locations that theyve kept in touch with, talked to, to try and identify these sorts of individualindividuals that mighs before an attack. But we dont know where he got it this truck from. Mason he came from tampa, apparently. He has residences in both tampa and new jersey. Theyll look at that. You can be sure theyre trying to put together the legal bases to try to search those places. Mason what are investigators doing right now . Well, theyre throok see what was his motivation and how was he inspired . So one of the things theyll look at, we know that this man, the truck driver, was from originally uzbekistan. Uzbek han stan has an islamic Extremist Group, the i. M. U. , the Islamic Movement of uzbekistan. And they were established in 1998. They in 2015 moved from an affiliate of al qaeda to isis. We that b the idea of truck attacks, car attacks. And so, the f. B. I. Investigators are going to look to see whether or not he was motivated by the i. M. U. , or another Extremist Group . Did he have any contact with them . Thats why theyll be looking at computers and cell phones and that sort of thing to see if theres any affiliation there. Mason as you mentioned and i know the new York Police Department has said this this is essentially what theyve been looking for for a while. That thats right. Mason but it happened in a place thats extremely vulnerable and really almost cant be protected, right . Thats right. We have gotten better over years of protecting large pedestrian areas. Think about the area around the 9 11 memorial. We can protect a sort of discrete area. But the west side highway, which runs the entire length of manhattan and that bike path is, as you say, anthony, near impossible to protect. So people are vulnerable when theyre there gl al. Mason townsend thanks very much. Lets go back to jeff glor in Lower Manhattan.

We know from our sources that two were sent immediately to the o. R. But we do not know the severity of their injuries or their conditions. We dont know if any of the five are among the eight known we dont even know if the suspect is among those who were transported here. Several of the other injuries went to New York Presbyterian Hospital down in Lower Manhattan. As you can see, there is a Police Presence outside of bellevue hospital. We spoke to many of the people walking outside. They told us there was a heavierthannormal Police Presence inside. They are checking i. D.

Mason President Trump today tried to put distance between himself and the investigation into russian interference in the election, this despite the indictment of his former Campaign Chairman and a guilty plea by a former campaign adviser. Major garrett reports what the president said today is at odds with what he said in the past. Reporter on twitter, President Trump falsely claimed paul manafort. But the indictment alleges manafort lied to federal officials and carried out a Money Laundering scheme during his tenure as Campaign Chairman and while advising the transition. Manafort has pleaded not guilty to all charges. The people new george papadopoulos, a Trump Campaign Foreign Policy adviser who has pled guilty to lying to the f. B. I. About efforts to contact russian interests for the campaign. On march 2016, the president spoke to the washington post. Reporter that same month, papadopoulos was photographed at a Foreign Policy meeting with candidate trump and future attorney general, jeff spepgz the white house said mr. Trump barely remembers papadopoulos. This was the president last week one of the great mmplez all time. Reporter today, press secretary Sarah Huckabee sanders said the campaign turned over papadopoulos emails to the special counsels office, which included communication between papadopoulos and sam clovis, the Trump Campaign National Code chairman. The plea agreement citing those emails says that the the campaign supervisor, now known to be i would advise and you other members of the campaign to make the trip to russia if it is feesable. But sanders tried to contradict that account today. My understanding is there wasnt encouragement. Reporter clovis has been nominated to a top scientific post in the department of agriculture, and despite questions raised by the Top Senate Democrat on the agriculture committee, the white house said it sees no reason to withdraw clovisepiscopal nomination. Mason social media executives total a Senate Subcommittee today that russianlinked accounts began trying to interfere with the election in 2015, and they kept at it long after the voting had ended. Heres nancy cordes. We take what happened on facebook very seriously. Reporter executives from facebook, twitter, and google told senators today that russian trolls were more prolific than they initially believed, posting 80,000 pieces of facebook alone between 2015 and this summer. So this continued after his election . It continued until we disabled the accounts. Reporter most of the posts and ads originated from one Office Building in st. Petersburg, russia, where an operation innocuously named the Internet Research agency uploaded 1100 videos to youtube and published more than 131,000 divisive messages on twitter. Facebook estimates up to 126 million users saw fake russian posts like this one, falsifying Hillary Clintons record with veterans. It claimed to come from a group called texans for truth. That advertisement has no place on facebook. Reporter all three tech giants say they have invested in staff and systems to keep bad actors out. We are committed to working every single day to get better at solving this problem. Reporter Louisiana Republican john kennedy was skeptical. The truth of the matter is advertisers. They change every month, every minute, probably every second. You dont have the ability to know who everyone of those advertisers sdo you . To your questions equestrian about seein essentially behind e platform to understand if there are shell corporations, of course, the answer is no.

A dvt in my leg. I had to learn all i could to help protect myself. My doctor and i choose xarelto® xarelto®. To help keep me protected. Xarelto® is a latestgeneration blood thinner. Thats proven to treat and reduce the risk of dvt and pe blood clots from happening again. In clinical studies, almost 98 of patients on xarelto® did not experience another dvt or pe.

Mason the toll in the truck attack here in new york city today is at least eight dead, at least a dozen injured. With me now is cbsn security analyst paul viollis. Paul, you think the time was very specifically chosen, the location as well. No question about that, anthony. I think forensically, when we take a look at this and we look at what the agencies are going to do right now and who is going to be responsible for what, one part of that investigation is going to go back forensically to look at the cameras, and we than weve done an exceptional job since 9 11, and incorporate the Artificial Intelligence in that to see when this guy came. Was he at that scene before today . And i think youre going to find out that he was. He picked it carefully because its 3 00 in the afternoon. Its halloween. Theres a lot of kids, and he intentionally targets that school bus. He didnt that wasnt by happenstance. He clearly sat and scouted that area, and made sure that it was at this particular time. Mason this event occurred at 3 05 in the afternoon, but this. Right, right. Mason in a way, this probably was the most prepared Police Department in the country for an havent like this, yes . Yes, but think about it, anthony. We see this our viewers see it, whether we live here or not, theyre visiting here you see the number of exercises the new york city Police Department deploy all time. Mason theyre going on all the time. Thats not by mistake. Thats by design. We should not be surprised about the and i expeditious man and efficient manner in which they responded here. Mason as much as we heard people in the n. Y. P. D. Say this is probably what they expected next, its very difficult to guard against Something Like this. Well, especially, when you start using a vehicle as a weapon of mass destruction. Were going to come back now and were going to analyze this a little bit more. Were going to have to examine whether we do Something Different Going Forward when it relates to somebody renting a truck. Mason yes. And i think there can be internal controls and reported controls on that and i do think were going to make changes on that Going Forward. I think an interesting part here too, when he e hes holding fake weapons. He holding, you know, a paintball gun. Hes holding a pellet gun. Mason what do you make of that . He was not intending to live through this and he wanted to suicide by cop. He was expecting police respond, and no question he expected to be shot and killed. Mason its important hes still alive. Its critical he is still alive because now we have the benefit of interviewing him and garnering significant intelligence information based on who he knows and how he became radicalized in addition to how he planned and why he planned this specifically. Its key information. We have not had that available to us in recent incidents over the last couple of years. We do now. Its key. Mason this is i mean, in a way, this happened right in the n. Y. P. D. s backyard. No question, right. Its right by 1 p. P. But mason one police plawz afor those who dont know. Correct, sorry. 1 police plaza. Its right in the background of what .
