At least 73 people are dead and more than 100 injured after they were mown down by a truck in a suspected terror attack during the Bastille Day celebrations in the French city of Nice.

Eyewitnesses say there was an exchange of gunfire in the aftermath of the incident before the driver was shot dead. ISIS has claimed responsibility for the attack, according to unconfirmed reports in the French media.

Guns and grenades were later said to have been found inside the truck, which mounted the pavement at approximately 40mph and steered directly towards hundreds of people watching a fireworks display.

Anti-terror police swooped in as the city was put on lockdown and residents were warned to stay indoors for their safety. Gunshots rang out in the streets, with gunmen targeting hotels and cafes in the port city in the south of France.

One witness called Antoine said: 'We were at the Neptune beach and a firework display had just finished. That is when we saw a white lorry. It was going quickly at 60-70 kilometres an hour.'

The gunman jumped out of the truck after ploughing through the pedestrians and began opening fire, witnesses said. Officials said the driver was shot dead near the scene. A second suspect is thought to be on the run.

Eyewitness Wassim Bouhlel said that he saw a truck drive into the crowd and then witnessed the man emerge with a gun and start shooting.

'There was carnage on the road,' Bouhlel said. 'Bodies everywhere.'

Okay, I am SO upset (sorry, LGS).

The Donald is postponing his VP announcement BECAUSE OF THIS.

It's not about HIM.

Well, this is a new angle. Very effective way to cause a lot of carnage. I suspect we will a lot more of this. Pretty easy to rent a truck and go mow people down. A heck of a lot easier than making a suicide bomb and vest and sneaking it in to a crowded area. A truck, easy peasy. That is really scary.

 Ummm, which is why he postponed the announcement.  What is your problem?  This is not about your political hatred, there is another terror attack.

 I think trucks should have control laws.  Of course that is a poor joke.  What a lot of people get, and other's stick their heads in the sand about, is the world is under attack.  If we don't get our border security in tip top shape and bomb the hell out of the countries that harbor the terrorist's money lines then we can't possibly combat such attacks.

Then I try to figure out how a deadly terrorist attack could be NICE?!!!

And who is he "teasing". There is no one that he would pick that would make me vote for the criminal Hillary. There is no tease at all.

You wanna vote for a criminal, go right ahead. Par for the course...

After 9/11, some people thought it best NOT to cancel football games, etc., because then it would mean that the terrorists "won."

I've been thinking about this.

How horrible this was.

Just plowing through a crowd like that.

Wonder how many actually understood what was happening until it was too late.

ISIS has to go.

It's time to take the gloves off.

ISIS needs to be eradicated.

 No, I was expressing my opinion.

Just like, after the Pulse shooting, he basically tweeted "Told ya so!"

This thread is a perfect example of so many things.

I CAN have compassion & respect IN ADDITION TO my feelings on the other matter.

I commend Trump for postponing his announcement. Real classy and kind of him to recognize that the terrorist attack news should pre-empt his announcement.

It surprised me that he postponed it. He comes off as arrogant to me so the fact that he didn't make Nice all about him and his campaign was refreshing. Obama couldn't even talk about Dallas without, once again, blaming America.

He politicized a memorial. Who does that? Oh yeah, the loser in chief does. Total azzhole...

 You've probably seen it but I saw one article that said he eulogized the two guys that got shot but not the Dallas officers.

Of course he did. He started the "movement".

Yet he did not reach out to any of the Bengazi victims. And they were killed on his watch.
