Las Vegas police searching for suspect after Teslas set on fire, seemingly shot 

Las Vegas police said Tuesday they are searching for a suspect after Teslas were set on fire and seemingly shot at a local business.

Las Vegas Metropolitan Police Department (LVMPD) Assistant Sheriff Dori Koren said during a press conference that at around 2:45 a.m. Tuesday, his police department got multiple “911 calls about a fire at a Tesla collision and sales center.” He said that multiple vehicles were burning when officers got to the scene.

“I can tell you that we believe the suspect approached the business wearing all black clothing, and he used what appeared to be Molotov cocktails and a firearm to conduct his attack. At least five Tesla vehicles were damaged, to include two of which were engulfed in flames,” he said.

“As I mentioned earlier, we're still in the process of collecting evidence, but it appears the suspect fired at least three rounds into different Tesla vehicles, so we do believe a firearm was used,” Koren added.

The LVMPD said in a Tuesday press release that they, alongside the FBI and the Clark County Fire Department, were investigating the attack.

"Violent terrorism," said Tesla founder and tech billionaire Elon Musk on the social platform X, which he owns, in response to a video the Las Vegas Review-Journal said depicted the incident.

Also Tuesday, the FBI’s field office in Kansas City said it and the Bureau of Alcohol, Tobacco, Firearms and Explosives (ATF) were investigating damage to Cybertrucks at a Tesla dealership in Kansas City, Mo., according to a social media post.

“The FBI and ATF are working with the Kansas City, MO Police Department to investigate an overnight incident in which Cyber Trucks at a Tesla Dealership in south Kansas City were damaged,” the FBI’s Kansas City field office said in a statement posted to Facebook.
