Trans gunman caught in alleged casino terror plot with huge cache of weapons — as cops release chilling footage

Las Vegas cops busted a transgender gunman who allegedly planned a casino massacre using a huge cache of weapons.

Allison Howlett, 36, who was born a man but lives as a woman, was arrested Saturday on charges of making terroristic threats, assault with a deadly weapon, auto theft, gun theft and other offenses.

The wild story unfolded shortly after 9:30 a.m. Saturday when Howlett’s former spouse, who is female, called police to report Howlett had stolen her car and the vehicle held numerous firearms, Henderson Police Chief Reggie Rader said.

The former spouse said Howlett intended to commit “suicide by cop” or carry out a mass shooting, Radar said.

Howlett’s ex was tracking her stolen car on her phone and led cops to it where it was parked in a garage at Sunset Station hotel, the top cop said.

As officers approached the vehicle Howlett blasted music over the car’s stereo and refused commands to exit.

He did, however, ask cops for a drink of water.

Shocking video of the of the ensuring interaction shows officers surrounding the vehicle dragging Howlett from the car, as he reached for a bottle of water ostensibly offered by the clever cops.

“Officers were eventually able to establish communication and convince her to roll down her window during negotiations,” said Rader.

“When she asked for water, the quick-thinking officers developed a plan to take her into custody as an opportunity arose when she reached for the water,” he explained. “Officers used that moment to gain control of her hands and remove her from the vehicle.”

“Ow, OK, I’ll get out,” said Howlett as an officer grabbed one of his hands. Rader said cops stunned Howlett with a Taser while he was being taken into custody.

...a huge cache of weapons...

Everyone knows a woman can't carry all that stuff.

But I was told those trans types were misunderstood. Remember Mayor Jacob Frey repeatedly defended “our trans community” to give them special rights.

At the end of the first season of the classic show Naked City, the producer said: “We’re not going to run out of storylines. We’re going to keep this show going. After all, as we say at the opening there are 8 million stories out there.”

Trans military weapons in casino terror plot.

More like Quentin Tarantino but a shame this is (our allegedly) real life.

“who was born a man but lives as a woman”

In his mind only and if that’s the case, how is that NOT mental illness.

How many guns did he think he could employ in his planned massacre? Lugging all that hardware into his venue of action would seem to be self-defeating. One MP5 and magazines in loops on a belt should be more efficient. OCD strikes!

WTH, Counterstrike COS play? Even got the Steyr AUG.

The M2 is over kill tho.

Easily $100K of weapons there. Imo, a collector/investor not a terrorist. But I haven’t read his manifesto....
