A pickup truck drove into a crowd of spectators at the start of the Wilton Manors Stonewall Parade and Festival in what appeared to be an intentional act, witnesses said. One person is dead and another is clinging to life, according to Fort Lauderdale Mayor Dean Trantalis.

A third man is expected to survive.

“This was a terrorist attack against the LGBTQ community,” Trantalis said. “He came here to destroy people. This was clearly no accident.”

Fort Lauderdale City Manager Chris Lagerbloom said the FBI is joining the investigation.
