Nice, France
Today was Bastille Day in France. After midnight at a crowded street celebration during the fireworks display, a very large truck reportedly rammed through all of the security barriers and into the crowd. The last fatality count I read was at least 73. RIP.

This happened hours ago so the investigation has just begun. However, the Nice government believes the driver (who was killed by police) slammed into the crowd intentionally and that this could a terrorist attack where an automobile was used as a mass murder weapon. The city is on lock-down. Earlier in the day, the President of France had announced that the terror warning level would be lowered at the end of this month.
