Explosion in Las Vegas. Joe Biden on the investigation
President Joe Biden stated that investigators are examining whether the explosion is connected to a New Year's attack by an ISIS sympathiser in New Orleans.
The attacker from New Orleans was a former soldier and, like the man who rented the Tesla, also rented an electric pickup truck (Ford F-150 Lightning) through the same mobile app, Turo.
