Woman Drives Car Into Las Vegas Strip Sidewalk In "Deliberate Act," Killing One, Injuring Dozens

Shot:

A woman with a toddler in her car repeatedly plowed into pedestrians on the crowded Las Vegas Strip on Sunday night, killing one person and injuring dozens more in what police say was a deliberate assault.

Las Vegas Deputy Police Chief Brett Zimmerman said the incident was "not an act of terrorism" but appeared to be intentional.

Las Vegas Sheriff Joe Lombardo on Monday identified the suspect as Lakeisha Holloway, 24. She is originally from Oregon, Lombardo said, but he added that authorities were "having difficulty obtaining her background."

But they've ruled out terrorism already!

Here's the chaser:

It's not terorism, folks, but we're keeping the (known) motive secret.

To reassure you, you see.

We're reassuring you by hiding important things from you so you don't overreact, you monsters.

And isn't that reassuring?!

The Suspect: She'll be charged with murder.

But not terrorism. Despite what she said was her motive for the crime, which the sheriff is "uncomfortable" revealing.
