September 11th Families Association

Former NYS Court Officer Mark Vobis responded to the World Trade Center terrorist attacks on September 11, 2001. On the same date in 2022, he was terribly injured in a Nevada hit and run accident while riding his bicycle. The 53-year-old is now partly paralyzed and faces a very long recovery.

His friends and supporters held a candlelight vigil for him recently, reported Brett Clarkson for the Las Vegas Review-Journal. 

They hope that the publicity might help in finding the driver who did this. A $25,000 reward has been offered for information that would lead to the arrest and conviction of the perpetrator.

Jurors are being chosen for the upcoming trial of a man accused of killing eight people in a 2018 terrorist attack with a truck on a Lower Manhattan bike path, reports Larry Neumeister for the Associated Press.

The accused did not appear during the process.

After mowing down the cyclists, he allegedly left the truck, shouting, “Allahu Akbar.”

It is not known if the death penalty will be sought by the prosecution.
