Law enforcement provided new details today on another disturbing incident from yesterday, a Cybertruck that exploded in front of the Trump Hotel in Las Vegas.
Police identified the man who was driving the truck as 37-year-old Matthew Livelsberger, an active-duty member of the Army’s elite Special Forces. Police said that he shot himself in the head before a device detonated a combination of fireworks, gas, and camping fuel in the bed of the vehicle.
Joe Schoenmann of Nevada Public Radio has been reporting on this, and I spoke with him earlier.
Joe, welcome to the “News Hour.” Thank you for being with us.
So we now know the identity of this suspect. What more did law enforcement have to say today about who this guy is and more about his background?
