Active-duty soldier detonates vehicle packed with gasoline canisters and fireworks, injuring seven
A Tesla Cybertruck packed with gasoline canisters and firework mortars exploded outside the Trump International Hotel in Las Vegas on New Year’s Day, injuring seven people.
The driver, who was found dead inside the vehicle, has been identified as Matthew Livelsberger, a 37-year-old active-duty U.S. Army soldier from Colorado Springs.
Police confirmed that Livelsberger acted alone in the incident.
The Clark County Coroner determined his cause of death to be a self-inflicted gunshot wound.
The explosion caused significant damage in the area, though authorities have not classified the event as an act of terrorism.
The incident has sparked questions about Livelsberger’s motives and the circumstances leading up to the explosion.
Investigators continue to examine evidence, but no clear motive has been established at this time.
The explosion adds to growing concerns about mental health and well-being among active-duty military personnel, as officials work to piece together the details surrounding this tragic event.
