Police shot and killed the truck's driver. He has been identified in French media as 31-year-old Mohamed Lahouaiej Bouhlel. Contrary to earlier reports, he is not French-Tunisian, but a Tunisian who was in France on a residency permit. According to France's BFM-TV, he was known to police for a string of petty offenses, including theft, acts of violence involving weapons, and domestic violence. He was going through a divorce. In January, he was placed under judicial supervision after he got into a fight. One of his neighbors told BFM-TV that he was not religious and had only received his truck driver's license in the last year.
