Las Vegas police confirmed that one individual was killed and several others were injured when a Telsa Cybertruck exploded outside Trump International Hotel Las Vegas on Wednesday.

“The incidents of violence that have impacted our communities are deeply concerning. The brutality must stop. My heartfelt thoughts and prayers are with the families who are experiencing such profound grief and loss,” Melania Trump wrote.

Federal sources revealed to ABC News that the search for evidence into the explosion of a Tesla Cybertruck outside the Trump Las Vegas hotel on Wednesday has been expanded to Colorado. The incident is being looked into as possible terrorism.

Based on what sources told ABC News, the FBI is searching and operating in Colorado Springs, Colorado, in connection with the Cybertruck blast. The Bureau of Alcohol, Tobacco, Firearms, and Explosives (ATF) is also there to help.

A hotel official said that when the driver of the Cybertruck pulled into the valet area, the truck burst. So far, the driver is the only person who has died in the accident. Seven others were injured, according to the police.

Tesla CEO Elon Musk helped with the investigation, according to the sheriff. He had the truck opened after it auto-locked in the blast and gave police video of the suspect at charging stations on the way from Colorado to Las Vegas.

McMahon said that detectives were looking into any possible links to the attack in New Orleans earlier Wednesday but had not yet found any. Sources say that the truck used in the attack in New Orleans was also rented through the Turo app.

At the news conference in Las Vegas, a video showed a load of explosives that looked like fireworks, gas cans, and camping fuel containers in the back of the truck.

Musk, a close ally of Trump, said on Wednesday afternoon that the “whole Tesla senior team is investigating this matter right now.”

“Will post more information as soon as we learn anything,” Musk wrote on X, which he also owns. “We’ve never seen anything like this.”

Musk later posted on X: “We have now confirmed that the explosion was caused by very large fireworks and/or a bomb carried in the bed of the rented Cybertruck and is unrelated to the vehicle itself.” It’s not known if Musk’s claim has been independently verified.

Trump’s son Eric Trump, the executive vice president of the Trump Organization, posted on social media about the incident.

“Earlier today, a reported electric vehicle fire occurred in the porte cochère of Trump Las Vegas,” he wrote. “The safety and well-being of our guests and staff remain our top priority. We extend our heartfelt gratitude to the Las Vegas Fire Department and local law enforcement for their swift response and professionalism.”

The hotel also issued a statement on X suggesting the car involved was electric.

“Earlier today a reported electric vehicle fire occurred in the porte cochère of Trump Las Vegas,” the hotel wrote. “The safety & well-being of our guests and staff remain our top priority. We extend our gratitude to the Las Vegas Fire Department and local law enforcement for their swift response.”

The White House said that President Joe Biden has been briefed about the fire and explosion near the Trump International Hotel Las Vegas and told his team to offer any government help that is needed.
