THE CENTER SQUARE—A Tesla Cybertruck exploded outside the Trump International Hotel in Las Vegas, resulting in the death of the driver and injuries to seven bystanders. Authorities are investigating the possibility it was terrorism-related.
The explosion, which occurred just before 9 a.m. on New Year’s Day near the hotel’s main entrance, sent debris flying, damaging the entrance and nearby areas.
Jeremy Schwartz, the acting FBI special agent in charge in Las Vegas, said the department was investigating the explosion to determine if it was an act of terrorism or not.
“I know everybody’s interested in that word and trying to see if we can say, ‘Hey, this is a terrorist attack,’” said Schwartz. “That is our goal, and that’s what we’re trying to do.”
