On March 1, 1994, Lebanese-born Rashid Baz shot at a van of 15 Chabad-Lubavitch Orthodox Jewish students who were traveling on the Brooklyn Bridge in New York City, killing one and injuring three others.[1] Initially a road rage incident, in 2005, this shooting was reclassified as a terrorist attack.
