Raw Video:
Not that this situation is even remotely funny. But there was a funny line in this video… “Helluva mornin’ for Jury Duty!” heh!
The Story, Via The Las Vegas Sun:
A federal court officer has died and another is in serious condition after being shot this morning in the lobby of the Lloyd D. George Federal Courthouse, 333 Las Vegas Blvd. South.
The U.S. Marshals Service says the shooting victims included a deputy U.S. marshal and a court security officer. The Associated Press is reporting that one of the officers has died, although it wasn’t immediately clear which one.
University Medical Center spokesman Rick Plummer said the dead officer was 65 years old.
Metro Police responded at 8:05 a.m. to the shooting, police spokeswoman Barbara Morgan said. FBI Special Agent Joseph Dickey says the gunman died shortly after a shootout.
Before the AP reported one officer’s death, police spokesman Ramon Denby said the officers were in “very serious” condition and undergoing surgery.
Denby said authorities had finished clearing the federal building. A suspicious vehicle on the east side of the courthouse was also cleared and determined not to be a threat.
Las Vegas Boulevard was closed in both directions.
Prayers are with the victims, and with Gunman’s family. I wonder what the story will be on this one. Countdown to Democrats beginning Gun-grabbing legislation in 5….4….3…2…

What’s with the gigantic font? Makes your site very hard to read.
Hey Mike, When I first got this template or theme. The font was quite small and make it hard for me to read. I can reduce it a little. But I don’t want it to be too small; for us OLD people! 😉
There I made it smaller, ya happy now? 😛 😉 😀
Why is the “comment” link so small… I could hardly see it.
Anyway, what was going through that guy’s mind… “Hhhmm… a shootout. I think I will grab my camera because this is totally a Youtube moment.”
That’s the way it came from default. I don’t like it either, but hey, it’s all free, so, I cannot gripe.
I agree… Although, I tend to believe he was trying not to get shot himself. 😀
Gripe gripe gripe…. give a man a blog to read and he bitches about the font…. *shakes head*….
