Las Vegas, NV – Authorities are currently investigating a shocking explosion of a Tesla Cybertruck that occurred outside the Trump International Hotel on Wednesday. Law enforcement officials are considering the incident as a potential act of terrorism, especially in light of a deadly attack that took place in New Orleans on the same day.
The explosion took place when the Cybertruck, reportedly rented in Colorado, pulled into the hotel’s valet area. Tragically, the driver was killed, with seven bystanders sustaining minor injuries. Sheriff Kevin McMahill of the Las Vegas Metropolitan Police Department confirmed that the vehicle was stationary for approximately 15 to 20 seconds before it exploded.
Authorities are exploring possible links between the Las Vegas incident and the earlier attack in New Orleans, although no connections have been established thus far. Video footage revealed disturbing images of fireworks-style mortars and gasoline canisters found in the back of the Cybertruck, raising concerns about the nature of the explosion.
Elon Musk, CEO of Tesla, has been actively assisting investigators by unlocking the truck and providing video footage of the vehicle’s journey from Colorado to Las Vegas. Musk later stated that the explosion was caused by large fireworks or a bomb, clarifying that it was unrelated to the vehicle itself.
Sheriff McMahill reassured the public that the explosion was an “isolated incident” and that there is no ongoing threat to the community. The Trump hotel has heightened security measures due to its connection with President-elect Donald Trump.
In response to the incident, Eric Trump expressed gratitude for the swift actions of local law enforcement and fire services, emphasizing the safety of hotel guests and staff as a top priority.
President Joe Biden has been briefed on the situation and is prepared to offer federal assistance if necessary. The investigation continues as authorities work to uncover more details regarding this alarming incident.
