Eyewitness Account of France Independence Day Attack
Category: Terrorism News
Not less than 80 people were killed and over a 100 injured in Nice, France on Thursday go when a gun man driving a lorry started shooting into
the crowd of people celebrating the Bastille Day (French Independence
day) national holiday.
An eye witness said the shooter got out of the truck and
started shooting at people, got back into the truck and plowed into the
crowd killing several other people.
The lorry on Thursday night rammed into the crowd on the Promenade des
Anglais seaside walk in the centre of town. At least 100 were wounded in
the attack.
Another eyewitness said:
"I was enjoying the Bastille Day fireworks just like thousands of other people at the promenade in Nice," he said. "I was just walking back after the fireworks had finished. I looked towards the truck and I thought it was a bit odd, because the roads were shut down and there were hundreds perhaps thousands of people walking along. "But then from the direction of the truck, I started hearing screaming and then people started running. And so I joined all those people in running away from there."
The driver drove for over 2km plowing into people in his way. Eyewitnesses said he drove 30 to 40 miles per hour into the crowd.
The driver was eventually killed by the Police squad. The truck was said to be loaded with arms and grenades.
French anti terror investigators are still investigating the attack.
