Summary

Hours into the new year, Bourbon Street in New Orleans is crowded with partiers. At 3:15am, a white, electric, Ford Pickup truck drives around a police squad car safety barricade, barreling through the revelers. 14 are killed, dozens wounded. After coming to a stop, the driver gets out of the crashed truck wearing a helmet and ballistic vest. Armed with an AR-10, he fires at police. Two officers are wounded.

In Las Vegas, at 8:39 a.m., Matthew Livelsberger arrives at the valet area of the Trump International. Seventeen seconds after the vehicle arrives, Livelsberger shoots himself in the head and the Cybertruck explodes. The blast created by fireworks-style mortars and gas canisters. Investigators believe the explosion was intentional, but have yet to determine a motive. Seven people nearby suffered minor injuries in the blast.

Two mass attacks, are they connected?
