Fired Vegas Worker’s Rampage Ends in Armed Resident’s Heroic Action
A shocking incident unfolded recently in Las Vegas, Nevada, when a recently dismissed construction worker wreaked havoc in a residential neighbourhood. Not only did he repeatedly ram his vehicle into his employer, but his rampage did not stop there. According to eye-witnesses, he showed no preference for his targets. This escalation of violence ultimately led to his death, at the hands of an armed resident.
This horrifying chain of events was recorded on a security camera, providing a chilling look at the man’s actions. As one witness noted, “He didn’t care who he was coming after.”
Details of the incident were provided by the Las Vegas Metropolitan Police Department. According to their report, officers received calls about a male being struck by a vehicle around 6:30 p.m. on a Thursday evening. Speaking to the media, LVMPD Homicide Lieutenant Jason Johansson divulged that the suspect had been fired from a construction job earlier that day, setting the stage for the terrifying incident that followed.
“The male who was struck by the car was conducting remodeling of a house at the 900 block of Dover Place. The person who was driving the SUV worked for him and, from what we’re being told, showed up to work in a condition where he was unfit to do his job and was fired,” said Johansson.
The scene captured on video was as shocking as the report suggested. The disgruntled former employee, driving a black SUV, chased his employer and drove recklessly, finally accelerating backward into him, thrusting him into a wall.
“He was attempting to hit him while driving east and westbound, both in forward and reverse,” said Johansson.
What followed next was a disturbing extension of the man’s rage. Steven Bowman, a local resident, reported to KLAS-TV that after running over his employer, the man in the black SUV started targeting other individuals. Bowman recalled, “I heard somebody say, ‘He’s coming back,’ and I couldn’t move.”
Ana Tilley, another neighbor, witnessed the incident and asked her 27-year-old grandson to fetch her shotgun. “The guy wouldn’t stop,” Tilley remembered. “I said, ‘Throw me the gun.’ No. He raised the gun, and I thought, ‘Oh my god! Oh my god!’”
Video footage showed Tilley’s grandson firing the shotgun repeatedly into the vehicle, bringing the attack to an abrupt end. By the time the police arrived, the man was already dead.
Although Steven Bowman was injured in the leg from the debris, he was discharged from the hospital after a few hours. The employer, who suffered “major” but non-life-threatening injuries, was also hospitalized.
Bowman, still in shock from the incident, commented, “It happened so fast, you don’t understand it happened so fast.”
Lieutenant Johansson verified that the video footage corroborated the witnesses’ accounts. “The entire incident is captured on video and corroborates the accounts provided by the witnesses,” Johansson added.
Following the incident, Tilley’s grandson cooperated with the police, was taken into custody, and later released on Friday.

Traveling across the United States is one of the great freedoms Americans enjoy. Whether you’re driving state to state, flying cross-country, or taking a long road trip, staying safe and fully within the law doesn’t require anything complicated. It just takes preparation, awareness, and a few essentials that every traveler should have in place before they go.
Here are five things you need to travel across America confidently, safely, and legally.
1. Valid Government-Issued Identification
This is non-negotiable.
A valid ID proves who you are and allows you to travel without unnecessary delays or problems.
For most people, this means:
- A valid driver’s license or REAL ID
- A state-issued ID card if you don’t drive
- A valid U.S. passport (especially useful for air travel)
If you’re flying, your ID must meet TSA requirements. If you’re driving, your license must be current and not suspended. Keep your ID easily accessible, but secure.
2. Proof of Legal Residency or Citizenship (If Applicable)
If you are a U.S. citizen, carrying proof such as a passport or passport card adds an extra layer of security during long trips, especially near border states or when flying.
If you are a legal resident or visa holder, you should always carry:
- Your valid visa or green card
- Any required travel documents associated with your status
Having proper documentation protects you from misunderstandings and unnecessary stress.
3. Proper Vehicle Documents (If Driving)
If you’re traveling by car, make sure your paperwork is up to date.
This includes:
- Vehicle registration
- Proof of insurance
- A valid driver’s license
Law enforcement checks are routine and usually brief when paperwork is in order. Keeping documents organized shows responsibility and helps everything go smoothly.
4. A Safe and Legal Travel Plan
You don’t need a strict itinerary, but you should know where you’re going and how you’ll get there.
A smart travel plan includes:
- Knowing your route and major stops
- Booking legal accommodations (hotels, campgrounds, or rentals)
- Understanding basic state laws (speed limits, phone use, toll roads)
Each state has its own rules, and being aware of them helps you avoid fines or problems.
5. Emergency Contacts and Communication
Safety isn’t just about laws — it’s about preparedness.
Carry a charged phone, a car charger or power bank, and a written list of emergency contacts in case technology fails.
It’s also wise to:
- Share your travel plans with someone you trust
- Check weather conditions regularly
- Keep emergency numbers saved and written down
Prepared travelers are calm travelers.
Final Thought
Traveling across America legally and safely doesn’t require fear or special permissions. It requires valid identification, proper documents, respect for local laws, and basic preparedness.
When you travel with everything in order, you’re free to enjoy the journey — not worry about it.
Emergencies don’t always come with a warning. Power outages, break-ins, severe weather, or unexpected disturbances can leave you needing to protect yourself long enough to get to safety. While the goal is never to engage or escalate, having everyday household items you can rely on for protection can give you valuable time, confidence, and control.
The following items are commonly found in most homes and can be used responsibly to create distance, draw attention, or help you escape when needed.
- A Heavy-Duty Flashlight
A solid flashlight is one of the most useful protective tools in an emergency.
A bright beam can temporarily disorient someone in a dark room, allowing you to move away or secure a door. It also helps you navigate safely during power outages, avoid hazards, and signal for help.
Keep one near your bed and another in a main living area. Choose LED models with long battery life.
- A Fire Extinguisher
Most people think of fire extinguishers only for fires, but they also offer protection in other emergencies.
A quick spray creates a cloud that can block vision and breathing for a moment, giving you a chance to escape. The extinguisher itself is also sturdy enough to hold defensively while you move away from danger.
Every home should have at least one accessible extinguisher.
- A Sturdy Walking Cane or Umbrella
A cane or strong umbrella provides reach and distance without requiring physical strength.
These items can be used to keep space between you and a threat, block movement, or help you maneuver safely toward an exit. Many people already keep one near a door or bedroom, making it easy to grab quickly.
- A Loud Personal Alarm or Whistle
Sound is a powerful protective tool.
A personal alarm or whistle can startle an intruder, alert neighbors, and draw immediate attention to your situation. It’s especially helpful if shouting isn’t an option or if you live in close quarters like an apartment or townhome.
These devices are inexpensive, simple to use, and effective.
- A Doorstop or Heavy Furniture
Creating a barrier can be more effective than any object in your hands.
A basic rubber doorstop can slow or prevent a door from opening, buying you time to call for help or escape. Heavy furniture, when used carefully, can block entry points and turn a room into a temporary safe space.
Final Reminder
Protection during emergencies is about time and distance, not confrontation.
Use everyday items only as a last resort and only to help you reach safety or get help.
Preparation doesn’t mean fear — it means being ready to act calmly when it matters most.
In any large-scale collapse scenario, medical help may be delayed or unavailable entirely. Hospitals may be overwhelmed, pharmacies closed, and emergency responders unable to reach you. In those moments, having the right medical supplies can mean the difference between a manageable injury and a life-threatening situation. A survival medical kit should focus on stopping bleeding, preventing infection, managing pain, and keeping you functional.
Here are ten critical medical supplies you should carry for survival during an apocalypse or any extreme emergency.
1. Tourniquet
Severe bleeding is one of the fastest ways people die from injuries. A proper tourniquet allows you to stop life-threatening blood loss from arms or legs within seconds. This is one of the most important items in any survival medical kit.
2. Compression Bandages
Compression bandages apply steady pressure to wounds and help control bleeding. They are especially useful for deep cuts, punctures, and traumatic injuries. They also help secure wound dressings in place when movement is unavoidable.
3. Sterile Gauze Pads
Gauze is essential for cleaning wounds, absorbing blood, and protecting injuries from dirt and bacteria. Carry multiple sizes so you can handle both small cuts and larger wounds. Clean wounds heal faster and are far less likely to become infected.
4. Antiseptic Wipes or Solution
Infections become deadly quickly when antibiotics are unavailable. Antiseptic wipes, iodine swabs, or antiseptic spray help kill bacteria before it enters the body. Cleaning a wound properly is just as important as stopping the bleeding.
5. Medical Tape
Medical tape secures bandages, gauze, and splints. It is lightweight, versatile, and far more reliable than improvised solutions. Tape can also be used to reinforce blisters and prevent minor injuries from getting worse during long travel.
6. Pain Relievers
Pain can limit movement, focus, and decision-making. Over-the-counter pain relievers help reduce inflammation, headaches, muscle pain, and fever. Staying mobile and alert during a survival situation is critical.
7. Antibiotic Ointment
Topical antibiotic ointment adds another layer of protection against infection. Even small cuts can turn serious when sanitation is poor. A small tube takes almost no space and can prevent days or weeks of complications.
8. Tweezers
Tweezers are vital for removing splinters, glass, thorns, ticks, and debris from wounds. Leaving foreign objects embedded in the skin increases infection risk and slows healing. Precision tools matter when conditions are rough.
9. Nitrile Gloves
Protecting yourself while treating injuries is essential. Gloves reduce the spread of bacteria and protect both the injured person and the caregiver. They are especially important when dealing with blood or open wounds.
10. Emergency Medical Guide
In a collapse scenario, you may need to treat injuries you have never dealt with before. A small first-aid or emergency medical guide gives step-by-step instructions when stress makes thinking difficult. Knowledge becomes as valuable as any tool you carry.
Final Thoughts
Medical preparedness is often overlooked in survival planning, yet injuries are more likely than dramatic threats. Cuts, falls, burns, and infections happen fast and worsen without care. Carrying these ten medical supplies gives you the ability to stabilize injuries, prevent infection, and stay functional when professional help is no longer available.

Usually they change the gun description to the AR-15! I guess with this video, it was pretty obvious it wasn’t the Democrat’s hated scary-looking rifle.
Kudos to the quick thinking Patriot! He saved innocent lives.
