[UPDATED 7:34PM EST]

At least 73 people are dead and another 100+ injured in Nice, France Thursday night after a truck plowed into a crowd of people celebrating Bastille Day. The truck was filled with arms and grenades according to the President of the French region. However, the arms and grenades were not used and the people were killed and horribly disfigured due to being run over by the large truck “bearing down like a mad car” on the promenade and people.

Local news outlets report the truck driver rammed into a large continuous crowd and continued to drive for a long distance. The terrorist is reported dead, shot by police. It’s unclear if he was shot while in the truck or if he got out and was shot outside the truck.

Donald Trump has announced that he has suspended his press conference to announce his Vice Presidential pick and made a statement. He also told Fox News that America is weak because it is lead by a weak leader and the world needs strong leaders.

The mayor of Nice, Christian Estrosi, tweeted that there have been dozens of deaths.

“Dear nice, the driver of a truck appears to have made dozens of deaths. Stay for the moment to your home. More info to come.”

The local Nice Martin newspaper reported that a large truck drove into and through a crowd on the Promenade des Anglais seaside walk who were watching a fireworks display.

French television channel BFM TV said the local prefecture in Nice is treating the incident as an attack and is asking for people to stay off the streets and remain at home.

Wassim Bouhlel told the Associated Press in Nice that he saw the truck driver get out of his car wielding a gun and firing the weapon randomly into the crowd.

“There was carnage on the road,” Bouhlel said. “Bodies everywhere.”

Officials told the news station that the truck driver is also dead.
