8 killed in NYC.

Post by Fiannan »

A man in a pickup truck killed eight people when he drove onto the West Side bike path in lower Manhattan Tuesday afternoon — and then shouted “Allahu Akbar” as he got out of the car with fake guns, police sources said.

The murder suspect is in custody. Does New York have the death penalty?

I'm curious when this guy entered the country. His name was released yes, and its an Islamic name. They think it was a name of Balkan Muslim origin.

But when did he come in the U.S.? How long was he here? How many 'civilians' supported him with money, food, and housing before the attack?

Most live on welfare when coming here but not sure about this guy.

New York has no death penalty as a state, but that doesn't mean in some cases that the Federal Government cannot do it in a federal prison, if the case is deemed worthy of such arrangements. Most likely this person falls under no death penalty.
