Las Vegas – Daniel Ortega entered the Las Vegas Athletic Club with a rifle. After a short oral exchange with an employee, he fired 24 rounds and killed the worker and wounded some others on Friday, the Metro police reported today in a press release.

When officers, including Kaid Urban, Skeeter Black and Aaron Javier, arrived at the scene, Javier Ortega saw in the front entrance and fired a round through a window onto the suspect. Ortega then ran the business past the officers, where urban and blacks were fired at him. Ortega was hit and fell to the ground, where the officers could take him into custody, according to the release.

In the course of the study, the detectives learned that the 34-year-old Ortega from North Las Vegas, armed with an Olympic WaffenPcr .223 rifle, entered the shop in the 1700 block of the North Rainbow Boulevard and went into the area of ​​the first table. When he went through the area, several people fled in the shop. An employee approached Ortega, and the two briefly exchanged words. The worker was identified by the forensic doctor's office as Edgar Quinonez (31) from Las Vegas.

Quinonez fled and Ortega fired him, hit him, followed him further into the business and continued to fire. Ortega went to the front doors and continued to run rounds, it says in the publication.
