Gun and Truck Terror Attack Leaves At least 84 Dead In Nice As Lorry Hits Crowds In French City
At least 77 people are dead and 50 have been injured in a Bastille Day attack in Nice, southern France
Eyewitnesses reported a gunfight between police responding to the attack and suspects at the scene
Witnesses said the driver crashed his truck into a group of people, jumped down and opened fire with a gun
Thousands of people were in the city watching Bastille Day fireworks when the attack began
US President Barack Obama condemned the massacre describing it as what appears to be 'a horrific terrorist attack
At least 77 people have been killed and more than 50 injured after a truck mowed down crowds for more than a mile before the driver got out and sprayed crowds with bullets in a terror attack during the Bastille Day celebrations in the French city of Nice.
One eyewitness described seeing 'bodies flying like bowling pins' and 'hearing noises, cries that I will never forget' as the horror unfolded on a busy promenade at around 10.30pm last night.
The truck driver was said to have shouted 'Allahu Akbar' — God is greatest — before being shot dead by police. Pro-ISIS groups have been celebrating the attack but as yet the terror group has not officially claimed responsibility.
Guns and grenades were later found inside the truck, which mounted the pavement at approximately 40mph and steered directly towards hundreds of people watching a fireworks display.
Anti-terror police swooped in as the city was put on lockdown and residents were warned to stay indoors for their safety. Gunshots rang out in the streets, with gunmen targeting hotels and cafes in the port city in the south of France.
Eyewitnesses say there was an exchange of gunfire in the aftermath of the incident before the driver was shot dead. ISIS has claimed responsibility for the attack, according to unconfirmed reports in the French media.
