“A police officer at the scene shot the terrorist, leaving him in critical condition,” Rosenfeld continued. “He died shortly after from his injuries.”
Rosenfeld said multiple police units arrived to cordon off the area and initiated an investigation to determine if the suspect acted alone.
“Police have heightened security to prevent further terrorist attacks,” he said.
