Yesterday I wrote about a good guy with a gun stopping a potential mass shooting. Well, today I have an update for you.
KLAS is reporting that the potential shooter has been identified and is facing charges:
Prosecutors have charged Andrew Warrender, 32, with attempted murder, two counts of assault with the use of a deadly weapon, and illegally discharging a gun, documents said.
Warrender was in custody at the Clark County Detention Center as of Tuesday without bail.
Warrender’s attorney, Richard Schonfeld, has asked a Clark County judge to postpone his client’s court hearings until he is able to attend court. Records show Warrender did not attend a hearing Tuesday due to medical reasons.
It is apparent that the LVMPD is treating this as an active shooter/self defense case.
LVMPD has not officially released any identifying information about the employee of Turnberry Towers who intervened, possibly due to concerns about running afoul of Marsy’s Law, which prevents disclosure of information about a victim that can assist a defendant in locating or harassing the victim or their family.
