Wonder what she said? Sheriff did say he didn’t think it was terrorism, but they do think it was intentional because she moved onto the sidewalk, stopped and kept going.

Via Daily Mail:

A mother-of-three was killed and 37 others injured after a homeless female driver intentionally plowed into pedestrians on the sidewalk of the Las Vegas Strip, police said.

Jessica Valenzuela, 32, of Buckeye, Arizona, died in the crash on Sunday night, after Lakeisha N. Holloway, 24, of Portland, allegedly hit pedestrians on two different sections of the sidewalk while heading north on Las Vegas Boulevard near Bellagio Way.
At a press conference at 10am PST on Monday, Clark County District Attorney Steve Wolfson said initial charges include murder with use of a deadly weapon as well as multiple counts of attempted murder with a deadly weapon, child abuse or neglect and failure to remain at the scene of an accident.

He said: ‘When a person drives a 2,000-pound-plus motor vehicle intentionally onto a sidewalk, killing and injuring scores of people, that’s murder.’ Holloway is being held without bail at Clark County Jail.

While the motive remains unclear, Sheriff Joseph Lombardo said he does not believe the incident was a case of terrorism. However, he said he was not able to absolutely rule out terrorism at this stage due to a lack of information about the suspect.
Authorities said people jumped on the car and banged on its windows as it plowed through pedestrians on the sidewalk.
Lombardo told reporters that Holloway was stoic and didn’t appear to be distressed when she was arrested. He said she told a valet at a hotel to call 911 after she mowed down people on Las Vegas Boulevard.

He added Holloway had made statements about her motive at the scene, but was ‘not comfortable’ with divulging those comments. However, he insisted that those statements did not suggest the motive was terrorism.

Authorities said they were struggling to piece together Holloway’s background. She changed her name to Paris Paradise Morton in October, according to Oregon court records.

She also interestingly had changed her name to Paris, and the crash was in front of the Paris Casinos.

She also has a picture of that exact site, the Paris casinos, that she had posted on her Facebook in October 2012. So it has some meaning to her, somehow, although she had only recently moved to the area from Portland, Oregon.
