Sheriff Kevin McMahill shared during a press conference on Wednesday that Livelsberger, an active-duty soldier in the Army, pulled up outside of the glass doors to the hotel at about 8:40 a.m. Fifteen seconds later, the vehicle exploded, killing Livelsberger, who was inside the vehicle, and injuring seven people.

Authorities found gasoline canisters, camp fuel canisters, and large firework mortars in the back of the vehicle after the explosion. 

Las Vegas Mayor Shelley Berkley said authorities “will remain on extra alert,” and there will be “a significant officer presence on the Strip, in the downtown and throughout the valley for the next 2 days.” McMahill said he believed this to be an “isolated incident.”

The explosion occurred just hours after a man with an ISIS flag drove a pick-up truck into a crowd of people in New Orleans — killing at least 15 people. The driver was killed in a shoot-out with police.

The Tesla truck was rented in Colorado — where Livelsberger lived in Colorado Springs. The vehicle in the Vegas attack and the pickup truck in the New Orleans attack were rented from the app Turo.

The FBI and local authorities are investigating the attack and the possible connection behind using a Tesla Cybertruck to carry out a bomb attack outside the Trump Tower.
