A driver armed with a flamethrower has rammed a Los Angeles Department of Water and Power substation in a possible “terrorism-related event.”
The rented silver Nissan Sentra crashed through a secured gate at the site in Boulder City, Nevada, before a gun went off on Thursday.
A man, who was wearing “soft body armor” and had two shotguns and an assault rifle-style pistol, was found dead in the car suffering from a self-inflicted gunshot wound.
Las Vegas Metropolitan Police Department Sheriff Kevin McMahill said on Friday they were investigating the attack.
A police statement said: “Officers discovered a deceased adult male in the driver’s seat suffering from an apparent self-inflicted gunshot wound. Multiple firearms were observed inside the vehicle.”
Officials said that there is no ongoing threat to the public at this time.

It takes all those guns to kill himself? It appears he had no other use for them. Is the society working up to some sort of mass psychosis?
Another medium functioning psychotic person copying actions that are seen in video games, movies, and real life. As long as violent scenarios, and violent ideas are circulated in the media”ether” some defective brain person will act on it.
A Muslim, or trans?
Uh, okay
Working up? Did you miss Covid? We’ve been in one for a while.
WTF is an assault rifle-style pistol?
LOL! Please - no Mora.....
It’s an AR-forty-16 chambered in thirty-ought-12 gauge. Has a belt-fed high capacity magazine, “shoulder thing that goes up,” and a bayonet lug. Oh yeah, and it’s a ghost gun with absolutely no metal parts and is invisible to x-ray machines.
Cop killer bullets that can shoot clean through an elementary school
The chaplain of the news dept would like to offer a prayer that the suspect be MAGA.
It is a description of a firearm by someone who has no clue of what they are talking about. Probably a Glock. Glocks make all kinds of assault weapons. Everything from assault style water guns to 50 cal blunderbusses.
