A 93-year-old man upset about flooding and water damage in his Las Vegas apartment shot an employee at the residential complex, authorities say
Robert Thomas has been charged with attempted murder, kidnapping, discharging a firearm within a structure, burglary with a firearm and carrying a concealed weapon without a permit, according to records from the Clark County Detention Center.A defense attorney for Thomas said in court on Friday that the incident was likely due to mental issues given his age, according to CNN affiliate KVVU.
After another 40 seconds, Thomas is seen firing a second shot at the male employee who is still lying on the ground."I didn't want to hurt the guy, I just wanted to screw him up a little," Thomas said last week in court.Thomas held on $25,000 bondRoughly 15 seconds later, an officer later identified as Ronald Hornyak arrives on the scene and orders Thomas from outside the door of the office to drop his weapon, according to police body camera footage.
