A spokesman for a San Diego law school with a summer program in Nice, France says U.S. Supreme Court Justice Clarence Thomas left the city about 12 hours before Thursday's truck attack that killed at least 84 people.
Thomas Jefferson School of Law spokesman Edgar Hopida says Thomas was teaching a class as part of the school's summer program in Nice. Hopida says the 68-year-old justice left on a flight Thursday morning.
Hopida says the 50 or so students, faculty and staff in the Nice program are accounted for and safe.
Thomas agreed to participate in the program in place of Justice Antonin Scalia after Scalia's death in February.
