The explosion of a Tesla Cybertruck outside the Trump International Hotel in Las Vegas resulted in the death of Army Master Sgt. Matthew Livelsberger, who reportedly shot himself prior to the incident. The blast, which occurred on New Year’s Day, injured seven bystanders but was largely contained due to the vehicle's design. Livelsberger was a highly decorated soldier on leave from service in Germany, and investigators found multiple firearms and explosive materials in the vehicle. Authorities are investigating the incident as a potential act of terrorism without links to a previous attack in New Orleans. His motivations remain unclear.
