Grief, mourning in France after deadly Bastille Day truck attack

As new details emerge about the Tunisian man who drove a truck through crowds celebrating Bastille Day in Nice, killing 84 people and wounding 202 others, French leaders extended a state of emergency imposed after the Nov. 13 Paris attacks and vowed to deploy thousands of police reservists on the streets.

Police identified the attacker as Mohamed Bouhlel, a 31-year-old Nice resident, and said he had drawn a gun on them. 

Bouhlel was known to police for petty crimes but was not on a watch list of suspected militants. He was shot dead by officers at the scene, leaving the truck's windshield riddled with bullets.

The investigation "will try to determine whether he benefited from accomplices," Paris prosecutor Francois Molins said. "It will also try to find out whether Mohamed Laouaiej Bouhlel had ties to Islamist terrorist organizations."

Hollande calls attack a 'monstrosity.'

French President François Hollande has declared three days of mourning and extended the state of emergency that has been in place since the country's last attacks on Nov. 13, 2015, which killed 130 people around Paris.

"Why Nice? Because it's a town famous across the world, a beautiful town, one of the most beautiful on the planet," Hollande said. "Why the 14th of July? Because it's the celebration of Bastille Day — freedom."
