Investigators have the one responsible for the explosion Tesla-Cybertrucks The US soldiers responsible in front of the Trump Hotel in Las Vegas finally identified and treated his crime as suicide. Although the incident attracted more attention than usual, “it ultimately appears to be a tragic suicide by a decorated war veteran who was struggling with post-traumatic stress disorder and other issues,” said FBI investigator Spencer Evans.
The soldier was stationed in Germany and Colorado
L. was 37 years old and a member of the Elite unit Green Berets. Among other things, he was deployed in Afghanistan. According to Sheriff Kevin McMahill, he spent most of his time at a base in Colorado and in Germany. He returned to the United States as part of an approved leave of absence.
L. had no criminal history
There is a lot of material that still needs to be examined to fully explain the explosion, investigators said. The man had no criminal history and was not known to law enforcement. At the press conference, investigators published excerpts from two of the man’s letters without commenting or explaining them further. It says the United States is heading toward collapse under weak leadership. “This wasn’t a terrorist attack, it was a wake-up call.”
There is also no connection to the attack in New Orleans
Investigators reiterated that there was still no evidence of a connection to the bomber who drove a vehicle into a crowd in New Orleans just hours before the truck exploded, killing 14 people. The investigators also see no connection between L. and a terrorist organization.
But why did the man park his vehicle in front of a Trump hotel?
The question remains open as to why L. let his car explode in front of the Trump Hotel in Las Vegas. However, the investigators made it clear that L. had no hatred against the former and designated future US President Donald Trump. Sheriff Kevin McMahill did not want to comment further on the man’s political views.
McMahill said that when you read what L. wrote, it was clear that he was trying to get Americans’ attention because he was “dissatisfied with a number of different things.” He referred to various media reports on the man’s political views, but did not address the content of any of them.
Enthusiastic soldier
A close relative of the man told Reuters that the man was an enthusiastic soldier and a supporter of the US president-elect Donald Trump been. It was reported from US circles that the man had been awarded, among other things, the Bronze Star for bravery. He has five combat missions in Afghanistan completed.
