A terrorist has killed at least 84 people - including several children - after driving a lorry through crowds celebrating Bastille Day in France.
The truck ploughed into crowds on Nice's Promenade des Anglais and continued at speed for around a mile.
The driver was seen shooting from the window of the truck as he smashed into people.
Truck riddled with bullet by Police
The killer was eventually shot dead by police with pictures showing his truck riddled with bullet holes.
The name of the suspect has now been identified as Mohamed Lahouaiej Bouhlel.
His ID card found in the truck shows he is a 31-year-old French man of Tunisian descent.
He was known to police in connection with common law crimes such as theft and violence.
Investigating sources said his last appearance in court was as recently as March, when he was found guilty of violent conduct.
As reported by Nice Matin, he worked as a delivery driver.
His home was searched by police this morning and a number of his relatives are now being spoken to by police.
