The Colorado Springs Police Department (CSPD) reported that investigators were tracing the suspect across multiple locations. However, the Federal Bureau of Investigation (FBI) conducted a search at a townhouse complex located in the Stetson Hills neighborhood on the east side of Colorado Springs.
In a related incident, at least one person was killed and seven others injured when a Tesla Cybertruck exploded outside the Trump International Hotel in Las Vegas. The vehicle reportedly pulled up near the building’s entrance before a “large explosion” was heard. Tesla CEO Elon Musk addressed the incident on X, stating that the explosion was “caused by very large fireworks and/or a bomb carried in the bed of the rented Cybertruck,” emphasizing that it was “unrelated to the vehicle itself.”
Authorities advised the public to avoid the area as investigations continued. The Las Vegas Metropolitan Police Department confirmed that the fire at the hotel’s entryway had been extinguished, according to ABC News. However, police acknowledged the ongoing uncertainty surrounding the event, stating, “We don’t know what we don’t know,” while assuring the community that there was no immediate additional threat.
