Celebs React After Dozens Die in Bastille Day Truck Attack in France
An estimated 73 people have been killed after a truck plowed down a crowd during a Bastille Day celebration on Thursday (July 14) in Nice, France.
Witnesses say that the truck appeared to accelerate as it drove into the crowd and there were several occupants in the vehicle. The attackers in the truck exchanged gunfire with police.
Over 100 people are injured in addition to the dead, according to initial reports.
“You can see wreckage all along the way, a body, bicycles, street lamps and debris everywhere,” an eyewitness told CNN.
