Yeah, it was Las Vegas Metropolitan Police. They say this cyber truck pulled up to the valet parking area of the Trump International Hotel. This was somewhere around 8.40 yesterday. Sat there for maybe 15, 20 seconds. Smoke starts to come out of the truck. Then these fireworks, you can see this in the video, they're shooting out of the truck, and then the truck is sort of engulfed in flames.
The driver was killed, and as mentioned, seven people nearby, they suffered minor injuries.

Well, they know who rented the truck, but I'm not sure. They've not identified that person yet, at least not publicly. The truck was rented in Colorado, and what they want to make sure of, I think, is that the renter and the driver are the same person. And in terms of a motive, they haven't said anything at all.

But yesterday at this news conference, Sheriff Kevin McMayhill, he said there's obviously a line of inquiry here, and this is how he put it last night.

Yeah, they showed a video yesterday of the burned out bed of the truck. And you could see gasoline canisters. There were camp fuel canisters and large fireworks mortars, which explains those fireworks that burst out of the car. But police are not sure exactly how it was ignited. There's also an interesting observation.

They said the bed of the truck was very sturdy, and so it partially contained the blast. And that's why the windows of the lobby of the Trump Hotel weren't actually damaged.

No, they're just only superficial similarities at the moment. You know, these are apparent attacks, both by trucks, same day, these tourist cities, as you mentioned. Both vehicles were rented on the same app called Turo, and the sheriff in Las Vegas called it another coincidence worth investigating.

And once I think they have the identity of the Cybertruck driver, they'll see if there's any connection with the person in New Orleans. Right. The sheriff also said there was no ISIS flag seen in the Cybertruck, which we saw in New Orleans. And Jeremy Schwartz, he's the acting special agent in charge of the FBI in Las Vegas, he added this.
