Video shows Las Vegas man, 93, open fire on apartment maintenance worker

"Guns are the problem
America doesn’t have a monopoly on hate or mental illness. What it has is a lot of guns.
"

Senior citizen suspect Robert Thomas was upset about flooding in his unit, so he pulled out a gun.

A 93-year-old man shot at an employee at his Las Vegas apartment complex, in a chilling attack caught on surveillance cameras, authorities said Monday.

The gunfire erupted Thursday morning at the Vista Del Valle complex, police said, just blocks away from
the Rio All-Suite Hotel & Casino, where the World Series of Poker's final table is played every summer.

The nonagenarian suspect was booked on suspicion of attempt murder, kidnapping, discharge of a firearm
indoors, burglary and carrying a concealed weapon. Thomas had no previous criminal record, police said.

I wonder if the old guy's place had been flooding before, or for how long. Sad to see such a man fall victim to such a gun culture.
