#BREAKING: LVPD gives update on Tesla truck exploding in front of Trump Tower

Authorities suspect the man who set off an explosion inside a Tesla Cybertruck outside Trump International Hotel in Las Vegas on New Year’s Day was an active member of the U.S. military.

One person inside the vehicle was killed in the blast, which was set with large fireworks mortars and gas canisters inside the bed. Seven other people suffered minor injuries, and two were treated at UMC.

The Associated Press and other news outlets identified the suspect inside the truck as Matthew Livelsberger. He was an active-duty Army soldier who spent time at the base formerly known as Fort Bragg, a massive Army base in North Carolina that is home to Army special forces command, three U.S. officials told the AP.
