City in Shock

A Police car is parked near the scene of an attack after a truck drove on to the sidewalk and plowed through a crowd of revelers who’d gathered to watch the
fireworks in the French resort city of Nice, southern France, Friday, July 15, 2016. At least 77 people were killed before police killed the driver, authorities said.
