hey, melissa. >> good morning. choppers at 95 on powder mill road. taillights headed southbound. everything looking like it's moving okay. inner loop before braddock, two lanes there, two center lanes, but not really causing much of a slowdown. two problems in the district, one, northbound 12th before constitution. traffic getting by the right there as you're leaving the tunnel. northeast h street between 13th has that shut down. take a look at your travel times coming up. thank you, melissa. 6:01. we want to go back to the breaking news and the terror in manhattan. at least eight people are dead and nearly a dozen hurt as a man turned a bike path into a killing field. >> we've been trying to put this into some sort of context. this is the deadliest attack in new york city since september 11th. five victims from argentina, another victim from belgium. new york city poliay

attacker is sayfullo saipov. he left a note in the truck that he used to hit those victims and in that note he claims he committed the attacks for isis. >> we have team coverage of this terror attack beginning with aaron gilchrist who kicks off our coverage who is live in new york. aaron, set the scene for us. >> reporter: the description that came from witnesses yesterday just laid out a picture of a horrifying scene with that truck coming up that bike path. that is sort of barriered, if you will, by concrete. people had nowhere to go as that truck came down the path yesterday. this morning we know investigators are still on the scene here. that truck is still on the scene here as police try to piece together exactly what happened. you're looking at a live picture of the truck mangled here after having run into a school bus. some 15 hours after this all happened yesterday afternoon. police say this area will be closed off for the foreseeable future as they investigate. you see new officers and investigators showing up t

we're seeing that happen every few minutes or so at this point. now take a look at some cell phone video that shows the suspect running away from the scene after the attack here. look at that. he had a hoodie on pulled over his head, but new york city say that is 29-year-old sayfullo saipov. you can see him running into traffic there. he then pulled out what we now know is a bb gun that he eventually fired at people. want to show you another picture that was taken moments later. this shows officers arresting the suspect after he had been shot in the stomach by a new york city police officer. witnesses say everything was horrifying. it happened so fast. >> it happened out of nowhere. i was walking down the street. it was a normal day. >> he's in the bike lane. clearly in the bike lane. when i go down, i see two gentlemen laying right there in the bike lane with tire marks across their body. you could tell that they're not here no more. >> reporter: just a horrible thing to have to witness. we feel for the

11 more people injured we know seriously, though they are expected to survive their injuries. coming up in a bit, eun and chris, we'll have more on the suspect including what the neighbors have to say. we believe he was from passaic, new jersey. we'll check in with you throughout the newscast. despite that horrific attack in lower manhattan, new yorkers stayed strong. the 44th annual village halloween parade went on as scheduled with added security. parade participants were asked to make gestures of solidarity along the parade route. >> new yorkers are a tough bunch. that heavy police presence could be seen in georgetown last night. kids, parents, singles, they were all there creating a soft target for terrorists. new this year planned prior to the attack in new york were strategically placed dump trucks. we continue

with news 4's justin finch live on the national mall with more of the so-called soft target threat. >> chris, that's right. we can draw in this area. family trips as well and now more than ever law enforcement said they need our help to keep these areas safe. so what can you do? for one, they're asking you to keep an eye out for all those cameras. they are, of course, everywhere these days, the cell phone cameras. watch where they are aimed. if they are aimed at a door to a secured building or a checkpoint, they say you can likely consider that to be suspicious. if you are out somewhere at a monument or another venue, you hear someone asking a lot of suspicious questions about shift changes, access points, that also can be considered a red flag. the other points might be a bit

more offer such as yanking an alarm to see what the response might be. others might be more slight. if you see something, say something especially now as they are stepping up their patrol. >> we see what happened in new york with the vehicle ramming. we take measures to make sure it doesn't happen here. >> reporter: and, of course, police say even before what happened in new york yesterday their attention had been focused on potential car ramming incidents. they have stepped up their operations behind the scenes and they say you may see more uniformed patrols out into the street after what happened here. >> justin finch live on the national mall. thank you. we heard from president trump several times overnight. >> the president tweeted that he ordered the homeland security officials to step up what he's calling our extreme vetting program. he goes on

through there, looking for clues. there was a note left in the truck that said that the attack was for isis. the question was was there any actual contact with isis or any other groups. so they will be looking into that information. obviously you mentioned the home depot where his personal vehicle is still there. they'll be combing through that trying to put together any clues about how this came together and why it came together and what, if any, clues they might have missed leading up to this that possibly could have prevented it, aaron. >> all right. chris pollone live with us here in lower manhattan. chris, thank you for that. eun and chris, the "today" show has a team here as well. they'll have more on this coming up in a bit. that news conference happening at 11:00 in the morning to update us on the investigation. >> aaron gilchrist live for us in manhattan. thank you. we continue our coverage now with news 4's justin finch. >> justin, can you tell us a little bit more about why the

soft target? >> reporter: well, chris, it's such a place that people from all over the world come to gather, families, tourists, even school groups as well. this open space and open area also very attractive. police are saying there are ways all of us can keep spaces like this safe. let's give you a look at how. first off, all of those cameras. everyone has them these days. it's worth noting where they are pointed. photos of security checkpoints. questions, too, are always welcome in a space like this. there's history everywhere, but when those questions focus on things, that could be a red flag. other signs might be

if you see anything that jumps out at you, they want you to let them know as they are tracking details and ramping up their patrols here. >> two things we can do. we can make operational moves to make sure people are safe, safer than they could possibly be, and then the other thing, too, is to make people feel safe. we do that through a uniform presence. >> so you will be seeing more police on the streets very likely, however, in cases like new york and others before police say a tip can be critical and stopping attacks like those before they happen. back in to you, chris and eun. >> justin finch along the national mall there. justin, thank you. >> yeah. we're going to be monitoring this story on air and online as you get ready to head off to work, you can find the latest in the nbc washington app. it may be hard to believe but we are exactly 100 days away from the opening of the 20
