Man Attacks Cop In New York Subways With Axe; Possible Terrorist Connection

Armageddon.

New York City police have shot and killed a hostaet-wielding man they say attacked a patrol officer without warning.

Police Commissioner William Bratton said Thursday that investigators were still trying to identify the assailant and determine a motive. He said they hadn't ruled out a possible terrorism connection.

The cops killed the man in a barrage of gunfire. One bullet unfortunately hit a bystander, but she is mentioned as "wounded," not dead, so I imagine she'll recover.

Update: And the Ebola Doctor has in fact tested positive for ebola, at least in the initial test.

A doctor in New York City who recently returned from treating Ebola patients in Guinea tested positive for the Ebola virus Thursday, becoming the city’s first diagnosed case.

The doctor, Craig Spencer, was rushed to Bellevue Hospital on Thursday and placed in isolation while health care workers spread out across the city to trace anyone he might have come into contact with in recent days. A further test will be conducted by the federal Centers for Disease Control to confirm the initial test.

Flashback: In a terror warning completely buried by the US media (but highlighted in foreign media), feds warned that IS sympathizers were being asked to engage in lone wolf attacks against cops, soldiers, intelligence officers, and media figures.
