Truck plowed into crowd in Nice,France during Bastill day celebrations

Today in Nice, France the celebration of a national holiday was going on.  The Promenade des Anglais was blocked. A crowd of people were watching a fireworks show. A truck went around several blockades to get to this street. He was noted to speed deliberately the last 100 meters. This large truck plowed into the crowd. The driver was reported to have a gun as he jumped out of the truck shouting "Allahu Akbar." The police shot him dead.No one has responsibility as of yet for this attack. Pray for the victims: their friends and families. If you do not pray, place these people in your positive thoughts. Current death toll between 77 and 80. Injured listed at 100.

The videos and pictures in some of the following links are graphic.  Children and sensitive people should not look.
