Update: http://www.bbc.com/news/world-europe-36800730


I don't really know what's happening right now but they're people running and screaming in the "Promenade des Anglais" in Nice, people are talking about a mad driver rushing into the crowd which were celebrating Independance/Bastille Day, some people are talking about 10 + people killed...

Edit: Looks like the government are talking about a possible attentat and asking people to stay at home.

Damn, Dutch person on Twitter saying shots fired also. Truck drove into a crowd. Talking about dozens wounded or death.

Holy shit.

Man what the fuck is happening this year. How deranged do you have to be to run over a crowd like this.

RIP the victims.

Hope No one else does before they catch this fucker.
And please don't be an immigrant.

BFMTV are talking about shot fired between the people on the truck and the police...

We don't have the exact number of people killed or injured.

Seeing the fireworks on live TV while people are being murdered in your city is depressing as fuck.

This should be breaking news worthy...

I'm guessing reports of the shooting are from them shooting at the truck, but no clear info as of yet.

It does look the windshield is full of bulletholes on the right side. Terrible stuff. It is horrible enough what a normal size vehicle can do let alone a big Semi

Tragic that we are left hoping tens of people have died in a horrendous accident. I do hope the reports of shots is just hysteria and this is just a crash at the wrong time at the wrong place.

C'mon man, we are some crazy motherfuckers on planet earth. :(

Hopefully the shots heard were the ones fired at the truck to stop it.

RIP to the victims.

Thanks. I found a couple of other online sources that had some video and images.

There's a breaking news article on BBC site. Also it's broke on Sky News TV Channel, showing video of crowd running away.

I said in the US. We don't have Sky here. Just this very moment as I type this CNN is breaking the news first over here. It's crazy how there is usually such a long delay when international news breaks. Sometimes hours go by before we get anything here.
