FBI: The soldier who committed suicide and blew up the car in Las Vegas suffered from post-traumatic stress disorder | News in brief

Gunshot wound in the head of the man who died

The representative of the FBI also said at the press conference that no connections with terrorist organizations have been found in the investigation.

In the United States, the special forces soldier who committed suicide in front of the Trump International Hotel in Las Vegas on Wednesday suffered from post-traumatic stress disorder, or PTSD, authorities say.

Earlier, the coroner confirmed that the 37-year-old man died from his own bullet. After that, the Tesla Cybertruck loaded with fuel canisters and fireworks burst into flames and exploded.

Seven people were injured in the explosion.

– In the end, the accident appears to have been a suicide by a distinguished veteran FBI Special Agent who struggled with PTSD and other challenges Spencer Evans said at a press conference on Friday.

Evans also said that the investigation has not found any links to terrorist organizations.

Although the explosion occurred in the future president of the United States Donald Trump’s outside the family-owned hotel, the perpetrator had no animosity toward Republicans and Trump, Evans added.

Evans also repeated previously confirmed information that the incident was in no way connected to the New Orleans New Year’s Eve car attack.
