CBSN
Authorities are sharing updates Thursday afternoon on their investigation into the Tesla Cybertruck that exploded outside of the Trump International Hotel in Las Vegas on New Year's Day, killing one person.
Sheriff Kevin McMahill of the Las Vegas Metropolitan Police Department is addressing the probe at a briefing. A livestream of the briefing is available to watch using the player above.
The explosion early Wednesday morning is being investigated as a possible act of terrorism, according to law enforcement, but investigators do not believe there are any lingering threats to the community, FBI agent Jeremy Schwartz said at a news conference later that evening. McMahill previously called the explosion "an isolated incident" and said there was no indication it was connected to ISIS, as the blast came just hours after a man intentionally drove a pickup truck flying a black ISIS flag into a crowd of revelers on Bourbon Street in New Orleans.
