Today in History - July 14 | Man radicalised just 'weeks' before horror France attack kills 86
A truck smashed into a crowd of people commemorating Bastille Day in Nice, France, on July 14, 2016.
A total of 86 people were killed and a staggering 450-plus injured.
The attack came as France was still recovering from a co-ordinated suicide bomb terror attack in November 2015, and prompted the extension of the state of national emergency that had been due to end in days.
Islamic State claimed responsibility for the attack.
Of the 86 people killed, just half were French nationals, with many of the victims also identified as Muslims.
Islamic State claimed the attack was carried out in revenge for France's participation in military action against the terror group.
Garrett (pictured) heard Bonney was in the vicinity of Fort Sumner, and travelled there on July 14 to question a friend of Bonney's, Pete Maxwell. The pair spoke for several hours in Maxwell's home when, late at night, Bonney unexpectedly arrived.
Unable to see Garrett due to the poor lighting, Bonney asked who was there, whereupon the sheriff, recognising Bonnney's voice, opened fire and killed him.
Rumours that Garrett had "unfairly" ambushed the convicted murderer dogged his life, while several men came forward decades later claiming to be Billy the Kid.
Joan remained a heroic figure in France and was ultimately canonised by the same Catholic Church that condemned her as a heretic, in 1920.
