, this is coming from wnbc our sister station here in new york city. here appears to be the gunman running down the street, with what appear to be two guns, we understand at this point one is a beebee gun that was found at the scene, we don't know if those are toy guns very real guns. again you are looking at video of the gunman running down the street. >> what does this tell you about the system after law enforcement closed in on him and the way he responded? >> he didn't have a plap aftn a he stopped his truck. >> law enforcement is trying to figure out if these guns were real. one appears to be a pellet gun or a beebee gun, and now they're trying to find out if he had an actual gun. as you have been reporting, they have only been looking at one suspect and we only see one suspect there. so it tells me if this was some sort of actually attack here, we know that there's a preliminary thoughts here that they're looking at this as terrorism. it tells me he didn't have much of a plan as he crashed this truck, it was at least seven blocks but tra s but pe

bike path, he mowed down multiple people then he apparently, according to multiple sources who told wnbc, he deliberately targeted a bus with schoolchildren on it. that is why the front of the truck is so damaged. he got out of the truck. we suspect 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 as an act of terrorism. the west side highway south of 20th street is closed as they continue to investigate the situation. all of the feeder streets that lead onto the west side highway have been closed and will remain closed for some time the two main schools that are in that area, the high school and grammar school and midd
