desertskyz Posted May 7, 2007 Posted May 7, 2007 One killed, one hurt in explosion outside Las Vegas Strip resort May 7, 2007 07:43 AM PDT One killed, one hurt in explosion outside Las Vegas Strip resort Police say an explosion killed one person and hurt another this morning in a parking lot outside a Las Vegas Strip resort. Police say a backpack exploded while a man was removing it from atop his car a little after 4 AM on the second floor of the parking structure behind the Luxor Hotel Casino. There is no immediate word of the extent of injuries to the injured person. Police, firefighters and federal Bureau of Alcohol, Tobacco, Firearms and Explosives agents have blocked off the two-story parking structure while they investigate.

RAGDOLL MX Posted May 7, 2007 Posted May 7, 2007 i guess this would be a bad time for a joke huh? oh well if it was the bomber that took himself out, no biggie, if that person was innocent, then thats a shame.. Quote
EY3BA11 Posted May 7, 2007 Posted May 7, 2007 They are saying the bomp was meant for a specific person.. IE the owner of that car so something tells me its not terror related Quote

~JILL~ Posted May 7, 2007 Posted May 7, 2007 This kinda stuff used to happen all the time in the "Old School Vegas Days" I remember that. Lefty Rosenthal, his cadilac @ Tony Romas on Sahara. Quote
desertskyz Posted May 7, 2007 Author Posted May 7, 2007 (edited) I remember that. Lefty Rosenthal, his cadilac @ Tony Romas on Sahara. Yeah! He only lived because he was in the habit of starting his car with the door open. When it blew it blew him right out of the car. Messed him up but didn't kill him. Now that's "Gangsta" Edited May 7, 2007 by desertskyz Quote
desertskyz Posted May 10, 2007 Author Posted May 10, 2007 Any more news on this incident? Hummmmm........... It wasn't an accident. This gentleman was chosen. so I doubt we will hear much more. :redhat: Quote
Mr. Edgy Posted May 10, 2007 Posted May 10, 2007 The last time I stayed at the Luxor I dropped a bomb or two myself............. :redhat: Quote
dunefreak Posted May 10, 2007 Posted May 10, 2007 Any more news on this incident? Last news that was reported was the guy who was killed by the bomb worked at Nathan's restaurant in the Luxor. When he came out and touched the package- it exploded and killed him. According to authorities, the bomb was specifically designed and built to kill an individual, not as a terrorist attack. The guy who was killed was a mexican guy in either in his late teens or early twenties. :redhat: His family said they have no idea why this happened. He had no enemies and wasn't involved in any gangs, etc. That was the last I heard on the news. Quote

dinicolady Posted May 12, 2007 Posted May 12, 2007 Any more news on this incident? IF you are still interested, here's the scoop, as of last night's news. In a nutshell: The day you asked this question, police pulled over a vehicle matching the one on security video. At that time, the driver (hubby says it was the accomplice) was just a "person of interest". They took him in for questioning but arrested him for outstanding warrants (illegal I.D.). Cops obtained a search warrant and found bomb making materials. How that lead to the arrest of the "hitman", I'm not quite sure, but he is now in custody. Also a Mexican immigrant, just in case you were wondering. It turns out it was a bit of a love triangle. The kid that died was dating the "suspect's" ex-girlfriend, whom he has a child with. Hasn't been allowed to see said child for whatever reasons. The pipe bomb was in a paper cup left on the roof of the kid's car....looked like someone left some trash behind, nothing elaborate like in the movies. Quote
metalalien Posted May 12, 2007 Posted May 12, 2007 (edited) We used to pick up money from that Nathans and the manager was such a jerk. When we heard of this we thought, either he got bombed or did the bombing... But it turns out it was unrelated. Edited May 12, 2007 by metalalien Quote
