Investigators are looking into the terror incidents on New Years to see if they are related.
It seems quite possible since they came within hours of each other.
According to the BBC:
Police in the US are investigating whether an explosion outside the Trump Hotel in Las Vegas is linked to the deadly car-ramming attack in New Orleans.
The driver of a Tesla Cybertruck was killed and seven other people were injured in Las Vegas after the vehicle - filled with fuel canisters and firework mortars - exploded. Officials said all injuries were minor.
In the New Orleans attack, a 42-year-old US citizen is believed to have driven a pick-up truck into a crowd on a busy street, killing 14 people and injuring 35, before being shot dead by police.
President Joe Biden said investigators were looking into whether the two incidents were linked, but "thus far, there is nothing to report".
