Eighty-four people — including several children — died in the French city of Nice after a terrorist plowed a truck, which was “loaded with” grenades and other arms, into a large crowd during Bastille Day celebrations Thursday night, according to officials and the French president.
As of Friday 8 a.m. local time, 18 individuals were in critical condition, 50 were lightly injured, and 120 were receiving treatment, according to a spokesman for the Ministry of the Interior. Prior to the announcement Friday morning that 84 had died, the death toll had been 80.
The attack left an “apocalyptic” scene, according to eyewitnesses, on the city’s famed Promenade des Anglais, which runs along the Mediterranean Sea. The French Riviera city was subsequently put on lockdown.
The exact nature of the attack was unclear, but the Paris anti-terrorism prosecutor’s office was put in charge of the investigation.
French President Francois Hollande extended the country’s state of emergency for three months and were mobilizing reservists. He said it was unclear if the attacker had any accomplices.
Hollande also discussed the threat of “Islamist terrorism.” “The terrorist nature of this attack cannot be denied,” he said.
“France is horrified by what has just occurred – a monstrous act of using a truck to intentionally kill dozens of people celebrating 14th of July,” Hollande said. “France is strong. France will always be stronger than the fanatics who want to strike France today.”
World leaders were quick to condemn the deadly attack.
President Obama said in a statement, “On behalf of the American people, I condemn in the strongest terms what appears to be a horrific terrorist attack in Nice, France, which killed and wounded dozens of innocent citizens. Our thoughts and prayers are with the families and other loved ones of those killed, and we wish a full recovery for the many wounded.”
Secretary of State John Kerry said the U.S. Embassy in Paris was working to account for the welfare of U.S. citizens in Nice. The American consulate in Marseille said it was trying to “determine if any U.S. citizens were injured in the event.”
The State Department tweeted, “US Citizens in #France: Avoid area near attack in Nice. Monitor local press for updates & exercise caution.”
Canadian prime minister Justin Trudeau tweeted, “Canadians are shocked by tonight’s attack in Nice. Our sympathy is with the victims, and our solidarity with the French people.”
Chinese premier Li Keqiang said, “We strongly condemn terrorism of all forms. We express our condolences to the victims and we will fight all kinds of terrorism.”
European Council president Donald Tusk said the world stands united with the French people. “It is a tragic paradox that the victims of the attack people celebrating liberty, quality and fraternity,” he said. “We will stand united with the families of victims, the French people and the government in the fight against violence and hatred.”
