Authorities identified the suspect in Tuesday’s terrorist attack in New York as 29-year-old Sayfullo Habibullaevic Saipov, according to Fox News.
Here's what we know about him so far:
Saipov drove a pickup truck he rented from Home Depot just an hour before into a crowded bike path and crashed into a school bus. Eight people died in the attack, and more were injured.
He reportedly exited the vehicle and yelled “Allahu Akbar” and waved what authorities believe was an airsoft or B.B. gun before being shot twice by police and arrested.
