Guards Shot Inside Las Vegas Federal Building
Monday, January 04, 2010
LAS VEGAS — A DEVELOPING STORY: A deputy U.S. marshal stated least two federal marshals were shot and a gunman was apprehended after gunfire broke out in the lobby of a federal courthouse in downtown Las Vegas. I believe the security personnel are contracted through a security firm in VA, overseen by U.S.Marshals and usually employ retired Police and Federal LEO'S.
Chief Deputy Marshal Roxanna Lea Irwin said Monday she didn't have immediate information about the condition of the marshals. The gunman was shot in the head, and is DEAD.....
Irwin says it appeared a shotgun was used during the confrontation.
There is natually a lockdown in the area, with a suspect vehicle being looked at for possibly further suspects. I pray for full recovery to the security personnel involved....
