The Attack:

On October 31, 2017, a terrorist attack occurred in Lower Manhattan, New York City.

The truck struck several people, killing eight and injuring 12 others.

The Suspect:

Sayfullo Saipov, a 29-year-old Uzbekistan-born man, was arrested at the scene. He was shot in the abdomen by a police officer and taken into custody. Saipov reportedly claimed allegiance to the Islamic State (ISIS) and left behind a note in the truck with a message in Arabic that translated to "Islamic Supplication" and "It will endure."

Investigation:

The FBI and NYPD launched an investigation into the attack, which is ongoing. Authorities have identified Saipov as a naturalized U.S. citizen who had been living in New Jersey. He had previously been investigated by the FBI for possible ties to terrorism, but no charges were filed.
