FBI Las Vegas Special Agent in Charge Spencer Evans told reporters on Tuesday that the incident “certainly has some of the hallmarks” of a terrorist attack, but that it was still too early to say for sure. The FBI’s Joint Terrorism Task Force is currently investigating the incident.

While one suspect was caught on camera, Koren said that law enforcement isn’t ruling out the possibility that there are multiple people involved. As of now, LVMPD is still working to determine who owns the damaged vehicles.

When asked whether police are concerned about the Tesla Cybertruck fleet they are expecting, Koren said that they will not allow “criminals or any potential bad actors dictate” operations. He insisted that the Cybertruck fleet will “make crime fighting more effective.”
