The active-duty Green Beret who blew up a Tesla Cybertruck outside the Trump International Hotel in Las Vegas was likely suffering from post-traumatic stress disorder and had written a note found on his charred phone stating that he hoped his actions would serve as a wake-up call to the American people, investigators revealed Friday.
Screenshots shared by the Las Vegas Metropolitan Police Department show Matthew Livelsberger had written several messages on his phones Notes app. In one, the decorated U.S. soldier said Americans would pay attention only to spectacles and violence. In another, Livelsberger said he needed to relieve myself of the burden of the lives I took.
The writings and new details about his time in the military and his actions in the days leading to the explosion paint a picture of a man haunted by his experiences overseas and closer to home.

Las Vegas police said Livelsberger shot himself in the head. The Cybertruck hed rented then exploded, leaving seven bystanders with minor injuries.
