Local and federal authorities said back-to-back attacks in Las Vegas and in New Orleans were not connected.

In a press conference Friday afternoon, Las Vegas Metropolitan Police Department Sheriff Kevin McMahill revealed why authorities aren’t considering the attacks connected.

“The simple answer to that is we don’t find anything to actually point us in that direction,” McMahill said. “There are those coincidences that we have spoken very openly about, but we have not found throughout this entire investigation anything that ties the two attacks directly together.”

Online speculation soared after it was revealed Shamsud-Din Jabbar, the New Orleans attack suspect, and the driver of the Tesla Cybertruck, Livelsberger, both spent time at the large military base formerly called Fort Bragg in North Carolina.
