The decorated Army soldier who drove a Tesla Cybertruck that exploded outside of a Las Vegas, Nevada, hotel suffered a gunshot wound to the head before the massive blast, officials said Thursday.
Las Vegas Metropolitan Police Dept. Sheriff Kevin McMahill said at a news conference that a handgun was found at the feet of the man who’s been identified as Matthew Livelsberger. Officials believe the shot was self-inflicted.
Livelsberger, an Army soldier from Colorado, served in the Green Berets, highly trained special forces who work to counter terrorism abroad and train partners, the Army said in a statement.
