The driver killed in the explosion outside a Las Vegas hotel has been identified as an active-duty U.S. Army member. Authorities are investigating the incident as a potential act of terrorism.
The driver killed in a possible terror attack outside a Las Vegas hotel has been identified as Matthew Alan Livelsberger, a 37-year-old active duty U.S. Army servicemember. Livelsberger was behind the wheel of a rented Tesla Cybertruck that exploded at the Trump International Hotel on Wednesday. Seven bystanders were injured but Livelsberger was the only fatality.
The pickup truck’s bed was filled with fireworks and gas canisters, prompting officials to investigate the blast as a possible act of terrorism. Livelsberger was from Colorado Springs, Colorado, and the FBI was searching at least one townhome connected to him there. Three U.S. officials told the Associated Press that Livelsberger was an active-duty Army member who spent time at Fort Bragg, a massive Army base in North Carolina. KTNV also reported that the FBI was investigating any possible connection between him and the apparent terror attack in New Orleans where an allegedly radicalized Army veteran drove into New Year’s revelers, killing 15. CBS News reported that Livelsberger was serving in Germany at the time of the explosion but was on leave in Colorado. The FBI is continuing to investigate Livelsberger’s background, along with the New Orleans attack
