Footage from Nice, Thursday, captured the panic in the aftermath of an attack that left at least 77 dead after a truck plowed into a crowd during Bastille Day celebrations, killing and injuring dozens.
According to witnesses, the truck drove into the crowd as spectators were watching the Bastille Day fireworks display. The truck was reportedly loaded with weapons and grenades. The driver, who has been reported as French of Tunisian origin, was shot and killed by security forces.
French President Francois Hollande announced the extension of the State of Emergency currently in effect in France, during a press conference from Paris, in the early hours of Friday. "I have also decided that the State of Emergency that was supposed to end on the 26th of July, will continue for another three months. Parliament will discuss the measure next week. Nothing will stop us from our intention to fight terrorism, and we will continue our operations in Syria and Iraq," stated Hollande.
