New Orleans Attack, Suspect's Texas Home, Las Vegas Truck Explosion

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.

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.

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.

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.

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.
