Terrorist Attack In Nice: Horrifying Video & Photos

At least 84 people — including several children — were murdered in the brutal attack, and over 50 people were injured. The driver of the truck plowed through the crowd — with witnesses saying the driver was frantically swerving and zig-zagging to mow down as many people as possible!

The bloody trail of carnage went on for over a mile before the driver emerged — and was fatally shot by police after he began to fire on the crowd. Authorities say that grenades and firearms were found inside the truck.

The attack began shortly after a fireworks display came to an end at 11 p.m. local time — with the crowd beginning to head home before becoming targets for the demented act of terrorism.

ISIS leaders had called for a similar attack to be carried out on France. Local reports said that the driver of the truck was Mohamed Lahouaiej-Bouhlel — who had a criminal record, but wasn't on any terrorist watch list.

“The individual who was driving the truck has been neutralized,” said Interior Ministry spokesman, Pierre-Henry Brandet. “The investigation will determine if he acted alone.”

Some victims of the attack were taken to the nearby Casino Du Palais De La Mediterranee for treatment by EMT personnel. Another planned fireworks display for Friday evening in the city of Marseille has been canceled.

Barack Obama made an official statement that he was condemning the attack "in the strongest terms." Hillary Clinton said: "We will not be intimidated."

Donald Trump — who postponed today's planned announcement of his running mate as Vice-President — went to social media to declare: "Another horrific attack, this time in Nice, France. Many dead and injured. When will we learn? It is only getting worse."
