Police have wounded and placed in custody the man believed to be responsible for the explosion in Manhattan on Saturday night and an earlier bombing in New Jersey. He is Ahmad Khan Rahami, of New Jersey, a naturalized Afghan immigrant to the U.S. The New York Times reports the dramatic episode occurred on a rain-soaked street in Linden, N.J. Two police officers were hit by shots, one in his bullet proof vest and another in the hand. There is remarkable video from ABC News as broadcast on CNN (below). Photos from the scene showed a man believed to be Mr. Rahami laying on the sidewalk, hands cuffed behind his back and his shirt pulled up exposing his stomach and chest, with a police officer standing over him. The Times quotes witnesses who said they saw police shoot at a man who was running away. One person who was too rattled to give his name said the victim appeared to have been shot more than once and was “still twitching.”
