(NBC News) Corky Siemaszko - An ISIS-inspired terrorist in a rented pickup truck deliberately mowed down several people on a bike path in lower Manhattan on Tuesday, killing eight people and injuring a dozen more. Sayfullo Habibullaevic Saipov, 29, who immigrated from Uzbekistan in 2010, also crashed into a school bus, injuring two adults and two children, then exited the truck and shouted "Allahu Akbar" before firing a gun, senior law enforcement sources said.

"This was an act of terror and a particularly cowardly act of terror," New York Mayor Bill de Blasio said.
