Recent Violent Attacks in Major Cities

Two violent attacks occurred in the United States right around New Year’s, leading to significant casualties. In Los Angeles, Shamsu Din Jabbar, a U.S.-born citizen, used a pickup truck to target crowds, resulting in 15 fatalities, predominantly young individuals. Shortly after, Matthew Allen Livelsberger, another American, detonated explosives outside the Trump Hotel in Las Vegas, injuring several others. While both men had military backgrounds, there is currently no evidence to suggest they were connected or coordinated their heinous acts.
