We do want to start and bring you up to date with the breaking news that you've been watching on

CNBC on the closing bell and if you're just joining us, just blocks from the Freedom Tower in the heart of the

financial capital of the world, six people were reportedly killed when a man drove a pickup truck into a bike path on the lower west side of Manhattan.

For the very latest, let's get to Sue Herrera back at the NBC Headquarters, Sue.

Thank you, Melissa. It obviously is still a very active scene.

This is still a developing story. It happened about an hour and 15

minutes ago. Here's what we know. We have six people dead at least 15 injured. We do expect

that number possibly that death toll to rise because we are

told that those injuries some of them anyway are severe. We are told that as this

driver entered the Westside Highway, Pedestrian and Bike Path, he mowed

down multiple people.

Then he, apparently, according to multiple sources tell W NBC

deliberately targeted a bus with school children on it.

That is why the front of that truck is so damaged.

He then got out of the truck, you can see that is him we suspect

that that is the suspect. He ran across the West Side Highway multiple lanes

stopping traffic. If you look closely at the video it appears as though he has

something in his hand. Police are identifying that as a weapon that they now know is a

fake weapon. It was not a real gun, but they were far enough

back so that they could not tell. They fired on this gentleman who we believe is the suspect

wounding him. He is still alive and in custody we do not believe there are any

other suspects it is considered and being investigated act as an act of terrorism
