… Law enforcement sources told CBS News that the Cybertruck was rented to Matthew Alan Livelsberger, an active duty U.S. Army servicemember who was serving in Germany but was on leave in Colorado at the time of the incident. CBS News spoke to two relatives of Livelsberger who were unaware of any involvement in the incident, but who confirmed he had rented a Cybertruck. One relative told CBS News that Livelsberger’s wife had not heard from him in several days.
McMahill said gasoline canisters, camp fuel canisters and large firework mortars were found in the back of the vehicle after the explosion, which occurred about 15 seconds after the vehicle pulled in front of the building. It’s still unclear how the explosives were ignited, he said.
Gas cannisters, camp fuel, and fire works. Look of all the random shit that could be considered terrorist related, that just sounds like a redneck prepping to drive out into the Vegas mountains and have a good time.
It’s being investigated. They didn’t take one look at the fireworks and go “yup, terrorism.”
Someone loaded up a Cybertruck with explosives and flammable materials and then it blew up in front of a Trump-branded building. Not investigating whether it was an attempt at terrorism would be far more eyebrow-raising.
Someone pulled up in front of the Trump hotel, detonated their explosives and shot themselves.
Yes, and? Terrorism requires a particular intent. This could just have been a result of mental illness, or some other such motivation.
I’m not saying it is or isn’t. Just that it’s reasonable for it to be investigated as such.
Apparently a detonation device, too. While a redneck might have fun blowing stuff up out in the back 40, I think the combination of items and location don’t make this a camping trip.
He probably just set off some of the fireworks before he shot himself.
It’s also straight up things that an entertainment company might bring to a gig
