Ok it's a terrorist attack. Running over innocent people on a beach with a truck then get out and shoot those running away. Pathetic.

Several witnesses spoke on iTele, a French television station. A man who gave his name as Michel, working at the Voilier Plage restaurant in front of the Promenade des Anglais, said that around 10:30 pm a large white truck drove into a crowd that had gathered near the beach to watch Bastille Day fireworks, apparently killing dozens of people. ?A huge number of people started running, then there was a lot of gunfire,? he said. The police arrived on the scene and engaged in a shootout with the two occupants of the truck.
Another witness who owns a restaurant nearby, whom iTele did not identify, said that when the truck plowed into the crowd, it ?crushed everyone in its path.? Then two men got out of the truck ?and started shooting into the crowd, about 50 shots,? the witness said.
