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.
To witness the chilling incident, you can watch the surveillance video on KLAS’s YouTube channel. As always, please remember to stay safe and vigilant in your communities.

Survival isn’t just about wilderness skills or stockpiling food. In today’s America, survival means being ready — financially, mentally, and physically — for rapid change. Under President Trump’s current term, the country is moving fast. Supporters see decisive leadership, tougher borders, economic nationalism, and a renewed focus on American strength. But with that speed comes disruption, resistance, and uncertainty. That’s where personal preparedness comes in.
President Trump has made it clear he believes in self-reliance, national security, and strength over dependence. Those same principles apply at the household level. Whether it’s supply chain pressure, political unrest, inflation, or grid stress, Americans who prepare are simply harder to shake.
1. Control What You Can Control
Trump’s presidency has emphasized America first — but that mindset starts at home. You may not control Congress, global markets, or activist judges, but you can control your food, water, cash reserves, and personal security. A prepared household is less vulnerable to sudden price spikes, shortages, or emergencies caused by political or economic battles in Washington.
Stocking basic food, having backup power, and keeping cash on hand isn’t paranoia — it’s responsibility.
2. Supply Chains Are Still Fragile
Despite economic growth claims and lower energy prices in some areas, grocery costs and essentials remain unpredictable. Trump’s push for tariffs and reshoring manufacturing is aimed at long-term strength, but transitions aren’t painless. Short-term disruptions happen before long-term gains materialize.
Smart Americans don’t wait for headlines to confirm trouble. They quietly build buffers: extra food, household necessities, and alternative sourcing.
3. Civil Unrest Isn’t Going Away
Trump’s presidency continues to expose deep political divides. Protests, counter-protests, and aggressive rhetoric aren’t disappearing — they’re becoming normalized. Survival today means knowing how to avoid trouble, not chase it.
Situational awareness, safe travel habits, and basic home security upgrades matter more now than they did a decade ago. Strong borders don’t eliminate internal instability overnight.
4. Medical and Personal Readiness Matter
Government systems get stressed during shutdowns, disasters, or mass events. Trump often criticizes bloated bureaucracy for a reason — it moves slowly when speed matters. Having basic medical supplies, prescriptions, and personal health plans ensures you don’t depend entirely on institutions that may lag when demand spikes.
Preparedness is independence.
5. Survival Is a Mindset, Not Fear
Trump supporters are often labeled “fearful,” yet preparedness is the opposite of fear. It’s confidence. It’s knowing that no matter what happens — politically, economically, or socially — your family is stable.
The core Trump message has always been strength, resilience, and refusing to be weak or dependent. Survival thinking aligns perfectly with that philosophy.
America is changing. Fast leadership brings fast reactions. The prepared citizen doesn’t panic, protest, or plead — they adapt.
Survival today isn’t about hiding from the future. It’s about being ready to face it head-on.
Traveling internationally can be rewarding, but it also carries risks that vary widely by destination and situation. The U.S. government offers specific safety guidelines to help American travelers prepare, stay informed, and protect themselves throughout their trip.
Here are key practices U.S. citizens should follow to stay safe overseas:
1. Check Travel Advisories Before You Go
The U.S. Department of State issues travel advisories for every country. These advisories use a four-level system to show risk:
- Level 1: Exercise normal precautions
- Level 2: Exercise increased caution
- Level 3: Reconsider travel
- Level 4: Do not travel
Before booking or departing, always review the current advisory for your destination. Higher levels indicate serious risks like crime, civil unrest, terrorism, health emergencies, or limited emergency services.
2. Enroll in the Smart Traveler Enrollment Program (STEP)
Before departure, sign up for the Smart Traveler Enrollment Program (STEP). This free service connects you to the nearest U.S. embassy or consulate and keeps you informed with real-time updates about safety, weather, civil unrest, or health issues in your destination. It also makes it easier for authorities to contact you or your emergency contacts if needed.
3. Know Local Laws and Customs
U.S. citizens abroad must obey the laws of the country they are visiting. Local legal systems and penalties can differ significantly from those in the United States. Travelers should research local laws, dress codes, cultural norms, and any restricted activities before departure to avoid fines, detention, or legal complications.
4. Prepare Important Documents and Contacts
Carry your passport with you at all times and make digital copies of important documents like your passport page, travel insurance, and emergency contacts. Leave copies with someone at home and store them securely online. Keep local embassy contact information readily available in case you need assistance while abroad.
5. Have a Personal Emergency Plan
Emergencies can range from civil unrest and natural disasters to health crises and lost travel documents. Plan ahead:
- Know where the U.S. embassy or consulate is in your destination
- Have a communication plan with family or friends back home
- Know your travel insurance coverage and how to access medical care while abroad
- Understand evacuation routes and local emergency services
During a crisis, the U.S. government may not be able to evacuate you immediately. You should be ready to use commercial travel options to leave if it is safe to do so.
6. Stay Alert and Use Common Sense
Travel safety often comes down to ordinary precautions:
- Avoid risky areas and follow local authority instructions
- Keep a low profile and avoid displaying expensive items
- Be aware of your surroundings, especially in crowded or unfamiliar places
These practices reduce the chance of being targeted for theft or other crimes.
Why This Matters Today
Global travel risks can change quickly due to political tensions, health outbreaks, or civil unrest. For example, the U.S. government has issued worldwide travel caution alerts during periods of heightened international tension, underscoring the importance of staying updated with current risks.
Summary of Key Safety Steps
- Check official travel advisories for your destination
- Enroll in the Smart Traveler Enrollment Program (STEP)
- Know local laws and customs
- Carry and secure important travel documents
- Prepare a personal emergency plan
- Stay alert and cautious throughout your trip
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.

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.
