the police say it s one guy. but it s too soon to say that without a doubt, right? it is too soon to say it, neil. sounds like an individual, probably we don t have any indication if he was shouting anything relative to terrorism. sounds like an individual self-radicalized. it s unfortunate. we re successful overseas with isis and terrorism, this becomes an easy target. you can t put ballards an every path and every streak. thanks very much. rick leventhal has more. i just spoke with a high-ranking law enforcement source who has responded to the scene. he s telling me that the perp was shot twice by police.
manhattan. this is an ongoing investigation. we expect mayor de blasio and the governor to be on scene. as i said at the beginning, neil, what happened here consistent with a terror attack. so far no one officially saying that s what took place, neil. neil: thanks, david lee miller. the white house is now confirming that president trump has been briefed on this vehicle that drove into a bike path near the world trade center, struck and killed several people. up to six dead we re told. nine injured. this is of great concern to the president. not only the president of the united states but he s a native new yorker as he is and his chief of staff, john kelly. kevin corker on how they re dealing with, this kevin? you re right about this. john kelly has briefed the president himself about this incident in new york city. not just of great concern as you point out for these two new yorkers, we re talking about an entire nation watching fox
