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.

The attorney for the 17-year-old accused of attempting to murder Ricky Pearsall, a first-round draft pick for the 49ers, is challenging the charges. According to the defense, the incident, which occurred during an attempted robbery earlier this month, does not constitute attempted murder.
“It was a rather extended struggle between Mr. Pearsall and my client,” stated public defender Robert Dunlap in an interview with David Lombardi of TheAthletic.com.
“They were really fighting back and forth on the sidewalk. As you might imagine, Mr. Pearsall gets the best of it. He does kind of — I don’t know if you’ve ever wrestled or not — a nice hip toss and throws my client to the ground and ends up on top of him. . . . I think [the video] supports that this is an attempted robbery and not an attempted murder.”
Dunlap also addressed and refuted a report alleging that his client had brought a gun to school.
“My client did not have a gun at school,” Dunlap said. “It’s a false report.”
Despite these arguments, prosecutors have chosen to charge Dunlap’s client with attempted murder. However, they have not yet determined if the young defendant will be tried as an adult.
The next court hearing for this case is scheduled for September 26.

A son, armed and vigilant, responded to a potential burglary at his mother’s unoccupied home in West Virginia during the early hours of the morning. The encounter ended fatally for the alleged intruder.
Authorities reported that the son, checking on the residence around 3:45 a.m., encountered an individual who turned toward him holding an object.
“Unwise move on the part of the intruder.”
The Berkeley County Sheriff’s Office received a call from a male stating he had just shot an intruder at his mother’s Inwood home on Winchester Avenue.
Upon arrival, deputies discovered a male lying face down with a gunshot wound. Immediate life-saving measures were administered until emergency medical services arrived, but the individual was pronounced dead shortly after.
The deceased was identified as 38-year-old Joshua Boone from Williamsport, Maryland. The sheriff’s office confirmed that Boone’s next of kin had been notified.
The investigation revealed that the son, identified by WDVM-TV as Michael Marshal, had gone to the home after hearing about a possible break-in. Marshal told deputies that Boone turned toward him “with something in his hand,” prompting Marshal to fire his handgun.
Boone was located in the garage of the residence, where the fatal shot occurred.
The Department of Criminal Investigators processed the scene for evidence and is conducting a thorough investigation into the shooting. Once the investigation is complete, the case will be presented to the Berkeley County Prosecutors Office.
Authorities are urging anyone with information regarding this case to contact the Criminal Investigations Division at 304-267-7000.

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.
