Police investigate possible terrorism event
LAS VEGAS (AP) — Las Vegas police say they’re investigating a car that rammed into a power substation as a possible “terrorism-related event.” Authorities say there’s no ongoing threat to the public. Police identified the driver of the vehicle as a 23-year-old man from Albany, New York, who was reported missing and is now dead. Police say Dawson Maloney had communicated with family before the crash, referencing self-harm, and said he was going to commit an act that would place him on the news. Authorities say he referred to himself as a terrorist in a message sent to his mother.
