Young police officer on scene really stopped this attack. Looks like the suspect will be able to be interrogated.

I’m a proud New Yorker.It breaks my heart 💔 to see all the violence in the world. We must not let the terrorists win. We have to stand tall & proud.

Our politics is unimportant in the grand scheme of things. What matters is our humanity!! We must not let the cowardly acts of these animals control or deter us.

We are New Yorkers.We are Americans.We are citizens of the world 🌎.WE ARE STRONG WHEN WE STAND TOGETHER!!

It's a very sad time for our children and grand children.I just don't understand the hatred.I wish these unhappy people would recognize that all of the lost lives and heartache will never bring understanding to their cause.

Look to Europe.

Edited to say, this was always coming.

Not a New Yorker but proud. Amazing and resilant people. And if I may add-- I feel much safer knowing there are those out there willing to " BE WATCHFUL." And this is from a mother who on 9-11 had four daughters in the four locations that were hit by the terrorists. You can only imagine that day for me and my family. And this is also from a second generation American whose family escaped the terrors of Europe, came here and appreciated and gave back to the country that saved them. My grandparents greatest gift was coming here so generation to generation we could Pay It Forward. And if this looks political... what isn't these days.

When I saw the video of the perp walking around the street with his "guns", I was thinking how terrified everyone must have been, just watching and not able to do anything.

How brave of that officer to walk right into the danger.

I love NYC, it broke my heart.

For this terrorist, we think we know the cause. For the Vegas terrorist, we still don't know the cause. I think these people are more than unhappy. There's definite brain malfunction.

I'm grateful my husband decided he had enough with the NYC traffic and decided it was time to pack it in and retire.

Who knows what time he would have walked in the door last night if he were still working.

@I am still oxox

I am glad you are both ok.

Thought of you yesterday... DDs friend works in the building right at that intersection. They were on lockdown...very scary.

She made it home safely.

He was here for 7 years as a result of a diversification lottery program on a Visa....no vetting. Sad day.

I don’t understand.8 people were mowed down by a terrorist & you’re grateful that your husband didn’t come home late?

@phoenixbrd When we moved to the USA from Canada we had to go through a lot of hoops....almost gave up at times.We also had to be checked out by an immigration doctor and then expected to get more vaccinations that we didn't have records for.IThis was 17 years ago and I think the rules have relaxed a lot since that time.We have always appreciated the right to be here and are thankful.

With how thoroughly they're examining the Vegas shooter's brain, if there was any abnormality at all, they should find it. As for this terrorist, we don't think we know the cause, we DO know the cause. He left a note stating his loyalty to ISIS.

Due to the use of cars for terrorist activity, I heard one newscaster going on last night about the need to vet people renting cars now.

Seriously? First of all, there's no need to rent when stealing a car/truck is not that difficult and secondly - I think there needs to be increased vetting all right, but not just of people trying to rent cars.
