Late Thursday morning, authorities in Las Vegas held another press conference regarding the New Year's Day Cybertruck explosion in front of the Trump International Hotel. Speaking at the press conference were Las Vegas Metropolitan Police Department Sheriff Kevin McMahill, FBI Special Agent in Charge Spencer Evans, and ATF Assistant Special Agent in Charge Kenny Cooper.  

The conference was relatively brief (roughly 20 minutes) and straightforward, with Sheriff McMahill providing the bulk of the details and responding to the majority of the questions, noting that "You’ll notice that we’re not releasing information that we haven’t corroborated and verified — we're not putting it out until we can tell you for a fact."

Perhaps the most stunning news from the press conference was the revelation that the suspect had sustained a gunshot wound to the head just prior to the Cybertruck's detonation.

The key takeaways from the presser were as follows:

McMahill acknowledged that there were "very strange similarities" between the Las Vegas and New Orleans incidents and that they were not prepared at this juncture to rule out or rule in anything in terms of a connection.
