. . . Channel 13 spoke with the resident to get their story. Law enforcement has not confirmed the following details.

According to the resident, a man wearing a helmet had an AR-15 and other weapons when he entered the towers Friday afternoon.

This is when the resident tells us the man fired shots in the area of the front desk, shattering glass which is shown in pictures they have provided to us.

The resident says it was an employee of the towers who stopped the attack, and thinks they are a hero who deserves recognition for stepping in. . . .

It was a resident. Unprovoked, never had issues with anyone here,just went to his car, grabbed an AK and came back in and shot the front lobby up. Homberto, who works in receiving is a hero. He shot the armed man and saved so many lives. Nobody was injured other than the shooter.

There is no excuse, when over half the states in the nation have "constitutional carry", that this should not be the ending to almost every mass shooting from here on out.

There's a Twitter thread (see HERE) about how that story is getting little coverage and how the Las Vegas police are refusing to confirm even the most basic details (apparently due to the "good guy with a gun" angle not fitting the desired narrative).

Another story that got almost no attention (certainly not national attention) was pointed out in one of the replies to that thread. It happened just a few days after the fiasco in Uvalde (and at least in this case, the cops were willing to acknowledge what had happened and give credit where credit was due):

THREAD: FBI Data on Active Shootings Is Misleading

Occam's Banana said:
[...]

The FBI is also susceptible to political pressure. Up until January of 2021, I worked in the U.S. Department of Justice as the senior advisor for research and statistics, and part of my job was to evaluate the FBI’s active shooting reports. I showed the bureau that many cases were missing and that others had been misidentified. Yet, the FBI continues to report that armed citizens stopped only 14 of the 302 active shooter incidents that it identified for the period 2014-2022. The correct rate is almost eight times higher. And if we limit the discussion to places where permit holders were allowed to carry, the rate is eleven times higher.

[...]

Unfortunately, the news media unquestioningly reports the FBI numbers. After 22-year-old Elisjsha Dicken used his legally-carried concealed handgun to stop what would have been a mass public shooting, an Associated Press headline noted: “Rare in US for an active shooter to be stopped by bystander.” A Washington Post headline proclaimed: “Rampage in Indiana a rare instance of armed civilian ending mass shooting.”

The CPRC’s numbers tell a different story: Out of 440 active shooter incidents from 2014 to 2022, an armed citizen stopped 157. We also found that the FBI had misidentified five cases, usually because the person who stopped the attack was incorrectly identified as a security guard.

[...]

While the FBI claims that just 4.6% of active shootings were stopped by law-abiding citizens carrying guns, the percentage that I found was 35.7%. I am more confident that we have identified a higher share of recent cases, and our figure for 2022 was even higher – 41.3%.

The FBI doesn’t differentiate between law-abiding citizens stopping attacks where guns are banned and where they are allowed, but you can’t expect law-abiding citizens to stop attacks where it is illegal to carry guns. In places where law-abiding citizens are allowed to carry firearms, the percentage of active shootings that were stopped is 51%. For 2022, that figure is a remarkable 63.5%.

In order to follow the FBI’s definition, we excluded 27 cases because a law-abiding person with a gun stopped the attacker before he was able to get off a shot.

I wonder what that twat of a Gov. in New Mexico will say if crime skyrockets in Albuquerque as soon as the ban takes effect, once word gets out that the "good guys" are disarmed?
 
Carjacker, 13, shot and killed by driver in D.C.

D.C. police said a driver shot and killed a 13-year-old carjacker Saturday near Judiciary Square.

Metropolitan Police said the victim was sitting in his car on the 600 block of D Street Northwest when he was approached by two juveniles around 10 p.m.

Authorities said the juveniles demanded the man exit his car, with one of the suspects holding the front of his waistband as if he had a handgun.

Police said the victim got out of the car and then opened fire on one of the juveniles with his own legally registered firearm. The other suspect fled.

Officers arrived on the scene and had the boy taken to a hospital, where he died of his injuries.

Police identified the 13-year-old as Vernard Toney Jr. of Southeast.

The man targeted in the attempted carjacking was an off-duty federal security officer who was sitting in his car and waiting for his shift to begin. The officer is cooperating with the investigation.
