Eighty-four people died, eighteen people were injured and are in critical condition, while another fifty people sustained light injuries in the Thursday evening terrorist attack in Nice. A man of Tunisian origin from Nice aged 31 drove into the masses of people who gathered together on the French national holiday in his lorry, the French Interior Ministry reported on Friday. Whilst driving, the perpetrators also shot into the crowd. The police killed the man.
